the tow went ok. took a lot of effort and strain that i wasnt expecting. i tired quickly. thanks for noticing. the truck has been driven to the store a couple times so i know its not rust, must be just warped. i just dont remember it vibrating so darned bad. it was making the wife(8 months preg)nautiouse(sick) it was so bad. i dont have 200 for rotors right now but are they worth the money?are you guys just replacing the front rotors and pads? i looked and the tires are even worn funny on the front......
i dont know ill need to fix it...... when the money is in....

the worse culprit is usually improper torque !
when the rotor is put back on if it's not a few clicks from 150 ft-lbs for my Ex it WILL warp again...
Even my dealership had to be educated on that one...
(after they turned twice nd replaced rotors once ! )
