As a proud new owner of a 89 240sx fastback... it is time to fix the problems that the car has.

The main problem with the car is when I brake at medium to high speed, the brake pedal and the steering shake like crazy. I am guessing either warped rotors or really bad alignment. The guy said he just replaced the rotors so I'm kinda confused. Anyways, waddya guys think?

Maybe they were bad rotors? Hot spots, cracked..... Good job with the 240, i have to see it.

wheel berrings can do this check to see that they are tightend corectly. (HUB) pull the dust cap and check tork on the nut dont overtighten it or the hub wont turn.

I think the Rotor was not torqued down right.

i already had that problem before.

Doesn't matter that the rotors are new. They can be warped right off the shelf. Seen that alot from Autozone. Take them and get them turned if they are stock.
