Hi all-
Just several days ago I started getting some steering wheel vibration at 60mph+. The weird thing about it is when I drive for 10-15 mins, it just completely disappears. I am sure it has nothing to do with tires, because I do experience braking degradation… The rotors seem to be ok visually… Before I take everything apart this weekend, anybody experienced similar problem and/or can give me any advice?
Thank you in advance.

Ok, looks like I got one jammed caliper piston. It was quite an effort to push it back..... No wonder my Left Front rim was getting slightly more dusted then others... I guess I'll be ordering a new caliper from Autozone now...

 

Hrmm I was having similar problems, I am hoping it is just a warped rotor and not the caliper (had them rebuilt by a shop who tried screwing me). At least I know this might be the end of my vibrations.

 

The rotor looked pretty good from both sides. I think the vibration was caused by the fact that there is a gap between the pad and the normally operating piston that retracts and the bad one holding the pad really pushed to the rotor... Autozone has the caliper for $50, so replacing it hopefully will solve my problem.
