Calipers or Roters?
I'm sure this has been posted and asked, but I really couldn't find where.
Here goes nothing, I get a pretty bad shack in the car (feels like I'm driving a blender sometimes) when braking from 30+. Its been going on, well, now this morning while driving over a speed bump, it feels like there is something loss under the carriage. Like the control arm is coming loss or not tight enough, and I know its b/c of the shake.
1. Does the shake mean i should change my calipers or rotors and Pads?
2. The undercarriage clunking noise could it be the ball joints or the control arms?
As always your help is appreciated.

pretty much you may not need rotors, but if there is no room to spin them, you may need to buy new rotors and pads.

Thanks everyone. I think I'm just gonna play it safe, and go ahead and get a complete brake job. Do the LS400 calipers as well, thankfully my LS came with rebuilt calipers that are working fine.
