Back to the shop.

Have to take the car to the dealer today, I've been getting vibrations and wables lately when braking. The steering wheel even shakes. I think (uhm) the front left rotor is warped. The vibrations are amplified above 80 km/h in 3rd 4th and 5th gear while braking and can shake up the steering wheel pretty well. The wable is continuous during braking at any speed.

yeah I had something similar happen to me about two months ago.. they had to recalibrate my suspension

Make sure they test the wheel balance. Vibrations in the steering wheel at 50/60 mph is almost always a wheel balance or suspension issue.

My mechanic was awesome!! I got to be there in the shop the whole time that he's doing the work, he re-balanced the wheels and needed to resurface the rotors and the braking action is smooth as hell.

 

[genericuser]

solid. I wish I could say the same about my mechanic (argh)

well, that and the body shop that is still holding my 6 hostage (protest)

 

[Mikey444]

hang in there brotha, probably just a few more days.

 

[genericuser]

well they keep bullshitting me with is really getting irritating. (fu)

they said it was gonna be ready wednesday, then they said today, and I still don't have my goddamn car yet. If they were honest with me in the first place I wouldn't be so pissed. In the meantime I'm getting 13mpg with a piece of s*** xterra and my back is killing me because it is such a cheap uncomfortable vehicle.

(pissed)

 

[Mikey444]

You go there and give them s*** (chair)

LOL when you get a V6 like I did you apreciate your 4 cyl that much better. I can drive 80 for a hr and not see the needle move but let me drive 20 miles of rush hour it's difrent. When I had the rental I think I went to the gas station before and after work. Hold in there... we need to put heads togehter and fight the lapis curse!
