[DML] Re: Shimmy when you apply brakes



My car had the same problem, it is a simple problem that can be fixed at
your local auto parts store or machine shop. One or both of your front disc
rotors is warped. Take them to O'Reillys and have them turned, I just did
mine last week and it cost a whopping $10.69 Since your car is low
mileage, they will probably not be past their minimum thickness. Make sure
you take the bearing assembly off the rotor before taking it in, it is only
held on by four bolts and is easy to remove. This will fix the shimmy when
braking.

My car seems to shimmy when you apply the brakes. The stearing wheel
shakes but everything else works. Any ideas? The car has 9,500 miles
on it.

Thanks,

Scot
