The tech at the dealership told me even though you replace everything, you aren't going to fix the problem. He explained that the rotors are floating and are not bulted, like the Pathfinder and Xterra. Even the Armada have floating rotors. He said once the tire gets put on, that tightens the rotor. Hope I'm explaining it right. They are much cheaper to replace then the ones on the Pathfinder and Xterra. If you get a chance, look at the front rotors on a Path then look at yours. You'll see the difference.

I resurfaced my rotors which worked great for 3 days. But now they are shimming again. I'll have them replaced soon but it won't be fix.
