My wife's highlander started getting some vibration when braking at highway speed. It was very difficult to determined if it was the fronts or rear cause I felt no real vibration in the steering wheel, break pedal, more so in the seat... a front to back pulsing, which would lead me to think it was the rear brakes.
All the brakes and rotors looked good, with plenty of meat left on the pads. I took my dial indicator out and check the rotors. All were within 1-2 on the scale except the front drivers which rotor which was about 5. So, I'm thinking..bingo.
so, my questions is, after replacing the front rotor should I:
1. replace the front pads or use the old ones that have lots' of life left
2. do I need to resurface the passenger rotor if I put new pads on it
I know this is a brand x, but the help would be appreciated.
