Re: Brakes last 5K then shimmy & shake in front end 700 1990

If you've gone thru several sets of rotors and pads, and the caliper pins are well lubed, and the car still develops warped rotor symptoms, I'd ask your mechanic to check the runout on the wheel hub itself. (What you see when the rotor is removed.) Could be dead wheel bearings, could be a damaged hub from a set of rotors being removed with a sledgehammer.

If the runout on the hub is too much, then it will be exagerated when you bolt the larger disc to it, and you'll eat rotors...
