I'm experiencing a shuddering/jerking action on my 04 SL when I apply the breaks. I'm going to check the rotors for warpage this weekend if I get a chance. Anyone have any other ideas?

 

Warped rotors.How many miles?

 

105K. Everything is spread out here, down south. We put ~20k/yr on a car easy.

 

I think its time to change the rotors and pads. Maybe even fresh brake fluid.

 

under warranty, I went through 3 sets of rotors that kept warping. After the warranty, I bought some nice slotted rotors and hawk brake pads and turned out to be better than day drove car off the lot. Nissan rotors are too thin and flimsy.

 

Good idea. Did you do all 4 tires or just the front ones?

definately the rotors.... either get them resurfaced or just get some nice slotted ones

 

 

Yep, the 04-05s were horrible with rotors mine started vibrating early in. I bought these good drilled and slotted rotors on ebay which were cheaper and perform out of this world. Don't bother cutting them.
