vanuatoo Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Hello I've got Nissan Pathfinder 2003 SE. I noticed that If I press brakes in the speed range 80-90 miles/h the steering is not stable, like going left and right. What could it be? Without breaks the car is going nice and smooth at any speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01silvapathy Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yeah my Moms Buick Park Avenue had the same problem, and a quick machine of the rotors fixed it right up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanuatoo Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yeah my Moms Buick Park Avenue had the same problem, and a quick machine of the rotors fixed it right up I'm going that way. I've got following questions. 1. If I decide to change the rotors, should I also replace breaks? 2. nissan4parts.com tells me that If I replace rotors I will need following parts, Rotor 40206-6W500 2 Seal 40232-31G00 2 Could you please tell me a good online store? I don't live in US, so I will have to buy them online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a good idea to do just the wheel alignment/balance and rotation before I do rotor resurface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
