Question: warped rotors

Question

Visitor, 4.0L V6, Twinsburg, OH, June 21, 2011, 09:18

I was told my truck shimmies really, really bad when breaking due to warped rotors. Can this be true. I just had the bearings and hubs replaced, but the shaking in the break and tires are even louder than before the bearings and hubs were replaced. Could this be due to warped rotors?

    did you make this issue aware to the shop prior to the bearings being replaced?? yes, warped rotors are common from overheating the brakes. the warped rotors do not make noise. you need a second opinion about these issues. have someone check your vehicle and get a list of reccomendations.
