Thought my rotors were warped.....but
on my 15k service, nothing was done to my brakes but an inspection. Never-the-less, my brake shudder is completly gone! My tires were rotated and balanced, so do you think I may have had a wheel out of balance so bad that when I put on my brakes it caused the vibration?
I did notice that on one wheel (see pic below) they had to put 4 1/2 weight squares where all previous times all wheels only had one weight square. The car drives extremely smooth and brakes really smooth now. I don't know what fixed it but I'm glad it's gone.

Lot's easier for you to read this, than for me to explain it.

Find a place with the Hunter GSP9700. Go to their website. www.hunter.com. It'll tell you if there is a machine being used in your area. I will never again use standard balanceing on 17" or above.
