Sorry for the delay guys, been really busy.
And yes there was vibration through the brake pedal during braking and also through the steering wheel.
Anyways, had a friend of a friend who was a long time mechanic and claims to have replaced hundreds of brakes over the years take a test drive. Before we even got down the street he said it was a warped rotor(s).
So that same day I ordered some ATE Premium Ones for the front ($45 each + shipping), showed up at the door the next day.
I installed the drivers side first with no problems. Then, when I got to the passenger side I encountered a strange problem. The hole for the single bolt that secures the rotor in place was not large enough! I had to take the rotor off and tap the bolt through the hole from both sides to make it large enough to fit, even then it was still such a tight fit that it took a great deal of strength to tighten it.
After finally getting it on, I gave the rotor a spin and to my dismay it was ridiculously uneven! I put the original rotor on to check that something else was not the problem, and the original spun much straighter than the brand new rotor! Needless to say there was something wrong with this particular rotor, I am shocked that it passed the Quality Control of a reputable company like ATE.
So the next day I called Tire Rack to see if I can get an exchange and they had a hard time believing that the brand new rotor was warped. They asked me to take a picture and send it to them
I asked them how I was supposed to take a picture of a warped rotor and then they suggested that I take it somewhere to have them measure the run-out
Really I cannot believe they are making it so difficult for only a $45 part.
Well I can't wait to get the new rotor in and finally be done with this project. Will be nice to have a smooth comfortable ride once again.
Thanks to all the members who took the time to share their knowledge on this subject, it has been most helpful. I will hopefully post the good news when I am done or the bad news if I encounter any more problems!
