Are my rotors Toast???? While driving i have a slight vibration in the steering wheel.But i can let go & it goes in a straight line.
when applying brakes the car shakes like Elvis!
recently had the GM dealership align the front end,balance/rotate tires, & still have the vibration. Much worst when braking!I have 70K on my car & have yet to change the rotors.
Have however had them turned/glazed.
So what is the verdict?
In any case i will be puchasing the Auto Zone rotors/pads this weekend. Hope this does it.

Re: Are my rotors Toast???? If you got 70K from your stock rotors you're way over due for new ones, new rotors should take care of your problem. When you put the wheels back on use the correct lug nut torque and use the star pattern for torquing down the lug nuts.

P.S. The method I like to use is 50/75 then 100 ft/lbs on the lug nuts.
