at interstate speeds(more noticebly), there is alot of shaking in the steering wheel when i gently press the brakes. its not as bad when i hit the brakes hard or when im at slower speeds. i have about 20000 miles on my 03 evo, never had the brakes changed but have had the allignment done at least once.

 

Sounds like rotors warping - it's pretty common.

 

turn the rotors and get some new pads (not stock as they are overpriced)

 

whats turn the rotors?

 

ive had the brakes inspected before by a local shop, the mechanic at the shop told me the rotors on the evo coulnt be turned due to their design. is this not true?

 

false, they can be turned.

 

okey nobody has answered my question

 

Cut mine 3X already.

I have 33K miles.

 

It's when you take your car to a shop and they will cut your brake rotors so it will have no run-out in them.

They put your rotors in a brake lathe or just cut them while in the hub of your car.

 

is this similar to having them turned, or how is this different(cutting).

 

again, how is the cutting different than turning, will any shop due this, as i mentioned before the one shop i went to told me the rotors on the evo couldnt even be turned.

 

Definatly warped rotors

 

There is no difference dude. "Cutting", "Turning", and "Resurfacing" are all the same thing . What they do is check how deep (if any) the grooves are in you rotor with a micrometer (refered to as mike cheking your rotors for allowable limits). Then the mechanic binds them in a vice that spins and they take a big metal rod and slowly scrape layers off the top of the surface of the rotors till the groove or deficency is gone, hence the names cutting, resurfacing , or turning. We good ?

 

May not be your rotors. I know I had the same problem and it was cause of my tires. 4 days later one blew out so I guess they were right.

 

thank you!
