Brake Question, non-third gen related.
My friends sunfire, when she brakes fairly hard, there is some vibration in the car. What would cause this?? I was thinking warped rotors, but the car is almost brand new (2000). Any opinions??

Depending on how she drives, it could still be warped rotors. A big heat-trapper is when you come speeding off the highway, come to a red stoplight quickly, and sit there at the light with the hot pads baking on the hot rotors.
You could put a dial gauge on the rotor and check it for warpage... if you have the tools, that is...
