Just to double check before I tear the front end of my car apart - I've had rotors replaced a year ago along with pads. Car was recently aligned. Checked at Saturn dealer. mentioned car was in previous accident, thus why the sunroof was stuck closed (duh?.) Saw no other problems. was too foolish to ask about brakes - was more focused on the secondary engine oxygen sensor after the cat, but I'll have that problem taken care of (just need to weld in a new pipe.)
So anyway, at highway to stop, it goes like this. the harder I brake, the more the steering wheel shakes and shutters like I'm driving over someone's stairway. (Shakes back and forth.) Peddle has some shake, but I don't pay attention to that as my hands are shaking all over. As the car slows down to about 20mph, you can feel a steady "grip and slip" in the brakes, esp. if I back off to a light brake. the car jerks as if its braking, then coasts, then feels like they grip again.
Also, if it is my rotors as I suspect, any tips to get the caliper bolts out without breaking them again? (I don't have a cutting torch so don't suggest that?)
I have new pads and rotors in my trunk!
