imtheking Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 1998 GS300 Driving 50mph+ and stepping on brakes causes stearing wheel to shake/vibrate. Brakes are 6 months old. Turn rotors or replace with new ones? Rotors dont look that bad. Suggestions? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Lex Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Measure the thickness and if you're still within specs then turn them. I never turn my rotors because you're not suppose to with BMW's. But I'd replace them even it wasn't a bimmer. It's only a few extra bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
