Report: Warped Front Brake Rotors Can Cause Steering Wheel to Shudder
Toyota Camry Problem
Model Years Affected: 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2009
Average Mileage: 85,779 mi (42,196 mi - 173,500 mi)
As the size of the Camry vehicle gets ever larger, there is a tendency to warp the front rotors. This will be felt as a shudder in the steering wheel when braking. The front rotors can be remachined, if there is sufficient material left, otherwise the front rotors will need to be replaced. It is recommended to use factory quality rotors because cheap quality rotors warp very easily and tend to squeak and squeal.

EnthusiastRotor is slightly warped and when I want to turn corners, the car shakes pretty bad when brake is applied so I have to go out of my way to get back to where I wanted to go(meaning letting car slowing down, turning around, and getting to destination from different approach).
