Here the issue. My front right rotor (if not both) is slightly warped. It's driving me nuts. It's not warped to the point that it's a danger to me. It just shimmy's the steering wheel slightly at 60mph plus braking and I can feel the shimmy in the seat of my pants. My local Dodge Dealer wants to charge $195 for a rotor grind. They grind them fitted to the vehicle with a special piece of equipment and it they charge the allotted time allowed by Chrysler (something like 2.5 hours per axle or something like that. I'm sure someone will chime in here.)
Anyway… I thought about just replacing the front rotors with new OEMs and EBC Redstuff pads. I wasn't planning on changing the rears. I was planning on leaving them as is. They aren't warped and since only ~20% of the braking power comes from the rear… I didn't see this as being an issue.
Any thoughts on this brake configuration?
Oh… I almost forgot. I have over 40K on the vehicle, so getting the dealer to cover under warranty is not an option.
