breaks on my camero

I am new to this site, but I wondered has anyone else had break trouble? I have a 2002 Z28, it only has 37,000 miles and the rotators have been turned 2 times and replaced 2 times. My steering wheel shakes every time I am going over about 60 and apply the breaks. They keep telling me my rotators are warped every time I take it in. They fix it, and its okay for a couple of months but then the problem comes back. Any ideas?

First off, welcome to the forums. Did you change the pads every time? I'd be tempted to just buy new rotors. Plus, whoever is turning them might not be doing it right (I guess there is a way to screw that up). Finally, are you sure your tires are OK, thier wearing properly and all that?

Now, I'm with Korndogg, are you driving really aggresively? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Re: breaks on my camero

kbown, the warped rotors are common on GM cars. get a set of quality rotors (Powerslot is great) and your problems will be solved!
