[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 6107506, member: 20202"] There are some very valid points on this threads and brake shimmy is certainly caused by more factors then just warped rotors. I have done many brake jobs on both automobiles, motorcycles and a few airplanes. In every case tuning the rotors (or getting new ones) resolved the issue of brake shimmy. Not saying hub issues, stuck caliper sliders or bad bearings are not the cause. But it has my experience that the vast majority has to do with warped rotors. If there is no shimmy at all and the friction surface is smooth, I just clean the disc with brake cleaner and drop-in new pads. For a road racer who cooks his disc and plows his two ton car under lots of G's into every corner will stress other parts of the system that can become the source of the problem. But the vast majority of these cars are driven on the street and it is a rare occurance when something other then warped discs are the problem. That is the first thing I check for. [/QUOTE]
