My Toyota Corolla with about 49,000 miles (yeah, not a Camry) has had a vibration problem for about a month. When the car speed gets to about 59 mph, and above, I start to feel a vibration that's perceptible at the steering wheel. It seems to be coming at least in part from the left front wheel. I had new brake pads and shoes put on this car 9 days ago. The shop advised I have the rotors replaced, saying there was some warpage, but I did not have that done. Nor did I have the rotors or drums turned down.
The right front rotor was warped enough that in the first 50-100 miles after replacement, it burned some of the brake pads up on that wheel until the warped rotor had shaped it some.
I'm interested in knowing - could having one or more warped rotors could cause this vibration? If so, shouldn't the problem be resolved just by turning down the rotors and drums (there ought to be enough metal to do it.) If that's unlikely, what else could cause the problem? It has no other obvious problems that I can think of that would cause this troubling vibration.
