[QUOTE="ShelbyGuy, post: 6102311, member: 10042"] rotors cockeyed on the brake lathe. cutting rotors is an unneeded procedure meant only to bilk the customer. put a dial indicator on the knuckle and measure the runout, rollout, and backlash of the rotor before putting it on the lathe. you'll find that the rotor is fine. if you get chattering brakes its not due to a warped rotor, but an uneven transfer of brake pad compound onto the rotor. naturally cutting the rotor takes the pad film off the rotor, so the problem goes away, and the shop gets money for doing unneeded work. a set of hawk blue pads and slow speeds will clean the rotors just as well. the original poster said the car SHAKES. this points to worn wheel bearings. isolate and test isolate and test isolate and test [/QUOTE]
