1. mo j Says: i know i need to replace the brakes. but my car is shaking when i come to a stop. does this mean i need to replace rotors too? if so is a rotor something i have to buy 2 of or does it come in a set like brake pads?
2. cobrajet Says: More than likely you have warped rotors if when you hit the brakes it vibrates or shakes. Rotors are sold 1 per box. It may be that only 1 rotor is warped not both. But usually in my experience it turns out to be both rotors. If it's shaking noticeably the rotors may be beyond being able to be cut(machined) to make them smooth again assuming they aren't composite rotors which can't be cut anyway.
3. Mike Says: So when you push your brakes the steering wheel vibrates and shakes? Then more then likely you will need rotors as well, they are sold as a single so you will need to buy 2.
