Well, just curious i tried to adress this problem at some point a while ago, but never came to a conclusion. The steering wheel vibrates when slowing down usually at 20 - 40 mph speeds when im under medium braking. I know for a fact all my wheels are on tight, so thats not it.
Is it a problem if there is heavy rust (chunky) development on the rim of the rotor? as pictured...

Any ideas? See anything wrong with them?

wobbles under braking is brakes wobbles under acceleration is usually bent wheel or wheel bearings.
call up ECS get some brakes for cryin out loud they have zinc coated crossdrillled with hawk ceramics= less tendancy to warp and less DUST!!!!

Warped rotors = Urban Legend!
This is what SEARS mechanics tell your grand-ma so that they can charge her $50.00 to get the rotors "turned"!
Check your bushings.

id get them checked by a brake specialist but 70k should be nearing end of life on stock rotors.

I have 94k and I barely have any wear on my pads much less rotors.
