Figured I'd start this one off with a pleasant Greeting. My lovely Blazer Shakes when I apply the brakes at 65-75mph. Sort of a Wub,Wub,Wub,Wub,Wub,Wub sound. Tires aren't new Had'em rotated and balanced a few months ago. new ball joints. new brakes/pads. ??Clueless??

Thats what I would think as well. Even if you did get new ones just could be a bad one (improper storage at the parts store or somewhere can cause it) :banghead: , its happened to me, I replaced them again and the shake was gone.

Will warped rear rotors cause shake in the wheel?

Hi Girlbear,
When you replace those rotors, Make sure you wire wheel and GREASE the heck out of the Caliper Slide Pins. Good luck and Let us know how it goes...

Also wirewheel and sand the rotor mating surface with the hub.

Get all the grease off of there and make sure it is smooth.

Chances are that might be causing the wobble with you existing ones or they could be just warped.

But warping does come from overheating in most cases so your caliper could be sticking.

As dino said, get those pins greased up.
