    Shaking under braking

    Ok so I just got my car outta the shop an when i brake the car shakes now. It feels like those rivets on the road that warn you when a turn is coming. The dash flashed brake light in yellow once then didn't show again. Could it be my rotors they do look rustic haha

    rus⋅tic
       /ˈrʌstɪk/
    –adjective
    1. of, pertaining to, or living in the country, as distinguished from towns or cities; rural.
    2. simple, artless, or unsophisticated.
    3. uncouth, rude, or boorish.
    4. made of roughly dressed limbs or roots of trees, as garden seats.

    Yo man, your "rotters" are "rustic"? I didn't know they made rotors from tree limbs...?!?

    But yes, your wood rotors are most likely warped. I'm surprised they haven't caught fire already.

    yeah warped rotors are pretty common. Honestly you dont have to replace them right away. I wouldnt leave it for a long time, but if you need some time to save up the funds, you could.
