damnn brakes

i own a LS model, so front disc rear drums...i have reason to believe my rotors are warped would my warranty cover my rotors? i'd prolly need new pads too, its been like this for 1k miles or so

possibly. what are your reasons to believe they are warped? as far as them being covered, depends on the dealer. it's considered wear and tear, but after only 1,000 miles it will depend on how worn the pads are

Why not try posting useful information? Did you buy the car new? Current (TOTAL) mileage? And what exactly is the car doing, and why do you assume it's rotors or that it needs pads? If it's because your rear brakes are out of adjustment, resulting in excessive stress on your front brakes, then you're on your own.

idk why i left the explination out......i bought the car new....current (TOTAL) mileage = 31616, its an '06 btw .....the steering wheel shakes and the car vibrates pretty good...im assuming its my rotors becasue it only happens when im braking hard...as it only happens then....wouldn't i need pads if my rotors are warped from the extra wear or damage due to the warped spot hitting the pad? the pulsating cant be good for any of the other brake parts(cylinder/lines/etc) my rear brakes should be fine, i never touched them

it won't be covered under warranty. are you sure it's not your abs? if it's not the abs, get new rotors and new pads.

I had my rotors machined at 12,000 miles. Your rotors are definitely warped. It cost me $131.00 in Florida.

yea and upgrade both the rotors and pads. if you put new pads on shot rotors you'll ruin the new pads.

clean your hubs of rust before installing new rotors...they'll warp easier if you don't

EBC slotted rotors and Hawk ceramic pads have done me well for over 20k miles. Held up very well!

Check out Turbo Tech Racing. They have some good selection.
