[QUOTE="Mojo88, post: 15763870, member: 184279"] Almost guaranteed to be rotor-related. And if you feel it in steering wheel, that usually means front brakes. If you feel vibration more in the seat, then that would indicate rear brakes. First thing to do is (as already stated) take front wheels off and inspect brakes and calipers. If you have a dial caliper, you can check for rotor runout real easy, I'm assuming you know how to do that. But even if the runout is minimal, you could have a rotor that has a spot of buildup on its surface, perhaps from overheating or whatever, even if the rotor has low miles on it. In the old days (when I had my service station in the 70's and 80's), I would have recommended to get the rotors turned. We turned rotors and drums every day on my brake lathe machine. But nowadays, new rotors are inexpensive and usually of good quality, so I always recommend brand new. Anyway, my guess is that two new front rotors will likely fix you up real nice, assuming pads and calipers are OK. [/QUOTE]
