Same Problem

Dec 24, 2008

-   I have the same problem. When I brake, the entire car shutters--a loud repeating sound... whump, whump, whump. I took it to a mechanic who machined the rotors, which took care of the problem for about a month.
I am currently looking at replacing the rotors myself. Any suggestions.

The alignment would not affect your breaking as the alignment only controles the direction that the front wheels face. You may need to check your rotors and make sure they do not need replaced and check the breaks while you are at it. The pads should be evenly worn and the rotor should be evenly worn as well. There should be no deeps grooves in the rotor or break pads.
