It causes my steering wheel to vibrate and shake when I have to break with even the slightest bit of force. If anyone has an suggestions, please send them my way. Tire of spending money!

Thanks, lisa

Make sure the mounting surface of each hub is squeaky clean and free of rust/corrosion before installing new rotors. Also, replace both front brake hoses if you've never replaced them before. They frequently go bad on these models, especially if you live in the rust belt. Bad hoses will cause the calipers to hang up and not release when letting off the brake pedal.

Are you a 1 footed driver or 2 footed driver? Reason why is because my sister in law was a 2 footed driver and rested her foot on the brake pedal ever so lightly and caused the brakes to over heat and warp the rotors. Made a lot of money changing her brakes often!!!!!
