Hi guys
On the 92 wagon, I replaced the rotors with the best NAPA had to offer. It was shimmi-ing really bad. Well, it is better, but still has some shimmy. I did not replace the pads.

I noted that when I put the rotors on, tightened them down with the wheel pin, there was a bit of in and out when I turned them. I repositioned the rotor, and it was better. I was thinking that there might be something lodged about one of the wheel lugs - up near the bearing unit, but did not really see anything.

This is an ABS system. Any ideas? Maybe the 'machined' rotors that NAPA gave me were not machined straight.

Thanks
