    Warped Rotors And/Or....?

    Have you tought about changing the brake's fluid? Maybe the fluid gets hot after, more less, then minutes, and one of the seals for the booster is leaking.

    To those who have replaced the front struts.

    Vibration during braking after rotors were turned.

    Hey! Hello. I checked the rotors and the brake pads, they are good. But I noticed that my struts aren't in a good shape, neither the upper ball joints. so, I decided to change the 4 struts, and the ball joints.

    Vibration during braking after rotors were turned.

    I got my rotors turned 3 weeks ago, because i felt vibration during the braking, after the resurface the problem was gone. Now 3 weeks later and a 1000 miles round trip, i feel vibration again. What's the next thing to do to solve the vibration issue? ('03 Explorer XLS, 4.0 L 2RWD)
