Supra · November 15th, 2009, 08:53 PM

what did they do?? or what cost 200??

DiZzyBonne · November 15th, 2009, 09:32 PM

The car better have no more vibrations for that price! Yeah, what did they do for $200?

Pittbull · November 15th, 2009, 10:24 PM

Them mother fuckers ripped me a new one, all they did was run a dionostic, adjusted the idle and rotated the rear rotors...

asiansensation78 · November 15th, 2009, 10:26 PM

How would rotating rear rotors help weight balance on a wheel?

Pittbull · November 15th, 2009, 10:30 PM

This was before I had the vibrations...
I had a squeek comin from the rear and they said it was the rotors but I think all they did was put some brake squeek on em for 65 bux

Boost4Me · November 15th, 2009, 10:35 PM

Dang....Well they removed your rear wheels so they probably didnt tighten them down good enough or they knocked a wheel weight off on accident.

Anything under 35mph is the front end and anything faster is the rear from what I recall.

asiansensation78 · November 15th, 2009, 10:37 PM

Haha the back brakes squeaked when I got my Mustang, turned out the glue that held the rear pad material onto the brake pad plate had let go and the pads were grinding against the rotors. I don't know how it happened but I'd have to assume it was some serious freezing that did it.

mrbigjeep · November 15th, 2009, 10:41 PM

i don't think the wheels being unbalanced would make the problem as bad as you are describing. at least in my experience...

for me it would make the steering wheel shimmy a bit at certain speeds but nothing crazy where the whole car shakes like your talking about. who knows though

Pittbull · November 15th, 2009, 10:41 PM

Yeh they also said a couple of the rotor bolts 'weren't installed properly' which I think is bs. Needless to say, I won't b goin bak to that shop

mrbigjeep · November 15th, 2009, 10:45 PM

lol the rotor doesn't even have any bolts holding it on...

asiansensation78 · November 15th, 2009, 10:45 PM

That actually reminds me of my friend complaining about her BMW shaking after she got it out of the shop. Found out a day later that her lug nuts weren't tightened down.

Too bad she had to find out the hard way.

Pittbull · November 15th, 2009, 10:50 PM

The bolts the rotor rest on HOMIE

oh believe me I tightend those lil fuckers down when I got it home so that's not the prob. It's def very weird and the vibration is suprising, completely dumfounds me... I guess Ima take it to another shop and let em bone me in tha ass... Again BOO :,(
