2003 Chevy Impala Steering Shaking On Hard Braking after Brake Rotor Resurface

George’s question:

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.

Answer:

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.
