2003 Chevy Impala Steering Shaking On Hard Braking after Brake Rotor Resurface
I did a brake job on my 03 Impala a month ago. I put on quality pads and had the front rotors resurfaced at a machine shop. but now the steering is shaking again when I stop from sixty quickly, just like it did before the brake job.
Well, modern day brake rotors aren’t what they used to be. Machining many models just shouldn’t be done if you’re hard on brakes. Your Impala is one of those models that I never advise turning the rotors on. The rotors will just rewarp in a short period of time. Your car is showing the classic symptom of warped rotors. I would buy a new set of brake rotors if I were you. And if you don’t want to also replace the pads that you put on a month ago, you can get some heavy sand paper and sand the pads down on a flat surface so they will fit the new rotors (they will be slightly warped from meeting the warped rotors, but it’s only been a month so you could try reusing them with a little sanding.
