Arrow Car shakes/wobbles slightly when slowing down

I took it to the dealership because it's under warranty for another 1000 miles but they said it's probably the rotors worn down and that they need to be turned. He said brake pads and rotors are only covered for 12,000 miles. Anyone heard of this? Is this even the problem? Let me know somethin! Thanks

Yep, sounds like rotors. Not surprised they aren't covered by warranty. Raybestos quiet stops are a great low dust pad.

And Yes, The OEM F-body front rotors are notoriously known to suck.

LOL....My rotors first warped at 7000 miles. The dealer replaced them one time but they just warped again. Then I went to http://www.fasttoys.net and picked myself up some KVR rotors. They are great. I have 30,000+ miles on my car now and they are holding up fine. I suggest you get aftermarket rotors like I did.

Sounds like you guys are pretty sure about this one.. Dam. I think I'm gonna turn 'em once and see how long that lasts since it's only about 5 bucks per rotor. Thx for the info
