Default Always me right?

Ok, well I picked up rotors and pads like a month back waiting to install them because i "thought" my rotors were warped. Turns out there not. The screws holding the rotor are completely gone. So my bad alignment coupled with the floppy rotors caused the rocking. Where can I get or what kind of screws does the rotor take?

Or I'll take a walk on the wild side and say maybe its not the screws, I guess there just to keep the rotors on in the factory, and maybe they are really just warped?

I doubt the lack of screws would cause the shaking. The lugs holding the wheel against the hub is more than enough to keep the rotor in place.

You can pick up new screws at the dealership for $.30 a piece if you are that concerned, but I think your shaking is due to something else.

Maybe it is warped rotors. I got plenty of brake fluid, no leaks or anything. But it's that destinguished warped rotor knock.

Get the screws. They prevent lateral movement in the rotor while you're bolting the wheel on. It keeps them centered. If they're $.30 ea, $1.20 proves that they are/aren't the problem. Replace the rotors and pads anyway. I bet your problem will be gone, but don't let that stop you from aligning it.
