Got My new Vert-Need help
Hi all,
This site has been wonderful. I just picked up my new(old)vert yesterday. Drove it home from LI, to westchester county ny yesterday in the pouring rain! No leaking in the vert top thank god. I noticed a problem, and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. When I am driving at a good speed like 60-68, the car handles fine, but if I hit the brakes( for example going fast, and then getting off an exit), the car vibrates something awful. It sounds like a machine gun, and the steering wheel vibrates terrible. Is it a wheel alignment problem, or tire problem etc, or something worse. Anyone have any idea? thanks

+1 take off your front wheels and see if the rotors are grooved and worn. New rotors + pads can be had a NAPA for relatively cheap.

+ another 1 on rotors. if you go with aftermarket pads, you haved to get aftermaket rotors, or else there is a major wear issue.

so do you think I should get oem parts, or will aftermarket parts be o.k.? I know you said that if I go with aftermarket to get the pads and rotors at the same place, but would oem be the best? If so, where can I get them, and are they significantly more expensive? thanks

thanks- I would get the front rotors and pads right? The back breaks wouldn't need to be redone unless they are worn right? thanks

inspect your rears also. if it's close might as well do then all at one time to have peace of mind.
