The steering wheel shakes when I apply the brakes, and the shaking gets worse at higher speeds. Gotta be warped brake rotors, right?

Unfortunately, Vancouver BC is pretty weak when it comes to Q45 technicians. What do I need to know BEFORE I take it in to my regular mechanic, who is helpful but not particularly knowledgeable about Q45s. Is there somewhere that I can get rotors and associated parts cheaper than the local Infiniti dealer.

Thanks!

unfortunately being in Canada stuff is going to be really expensive, im sure you were quoted about $200 each for rotors.

What I would personally do is check and see how thick they are and if you are somewhere above 26mm front and 7mm rear thick then I would turn them.. that is going to be your cheapest alternative...

Sometimes its cost effective to buy stuff from the states and have it shipped, however that may not be the case with heavy stuff like brakes...

Have Joe send the parts to somebody in Blaine or Bellingham.
