Shimmying???
-
i just bought a 2000 civic ex, and i have a shimmying when i am braking,, or slowing down, does anyone know what could cause this, i am new to cars, i have been working in car audio on my old car, but now are trying to get into the performance n matience part.

what do you mean by shimmying??
warped rotors?

First, bring it to a local shop that you trust and have it diagnosed first to keep from spending $$ unesessarily. And if you have to replace one rotor, then replace both of them. Oh, and you'll probably have to replace your brake pads again while your at it. If the rotors are warped, it can cause warpage to the new pads.

if you want I can take a look at it. i'm ASE certified although in my current job I've not had to use it since i started. I also have a associate degree in automotive restoration technology. so I'm been around cars for awhile. if your interested in having me do that shoot me a PM.

Ya, I guarantee (cant spell) that it is warped rotors. 95% sure it is front, mainly because Hondas only use the rear less than 20% of the time. If your wheel is shaking that bad, chances are they are beyond "turning" repair and should be replaced. If you turn them, you'll probably warp them even more right away due to less iron to absorb heat. I can slap some rotors on for ya. Either at my place of work or on the side. Just let me know and Ill let ya know what you'd be looking at price wise.

Youre looking at about $25-$35 a rotor plus labor. I usually charge $35 an hour on the side at home. Wont take long at all. Depending on what you want, Ill do them for $80 with parts (just $30 labor), $100 for a better "premium" rotor, which you probably dont really need to worry about getting. Or you can just get them yourself and have someone on here do them for you. Just let us know.
