Have to take the car to the dealer today, I've been getting vibrations and wables lately when braking. The steering wheel even shakes. I think (uhm) the front left rotor is warped. The vibrations are amplified above 80 km/h in 3rd 4th and 5th gear while braking and can shake up the steering wheel pretty well. The wable is continuous during braking at any speed.

Make sure they test the wheel balance. Vibrations in the steering wheel at 50/60 mph is almost always a wheel balance or suspension issue.

My mechanic was awesome!! I got to be there in the shop the whole time that he's doing the work, he re-balanced the wheels and needed to resurface the rotors and the braking action is smooth as hell.

well they keep bullshitting me with is really getting irritating. (fu)

they said it was gonna be ready wednesday, then they said today, and I still don't have my goddamn car yet. If they were honest with me in the first place I wouldn't be so pissed. In the meantime I'm getting 13mpg with a piece of shit xterra and my back is killing me because it is such a cheap uncomfortable vehicle.

LOL when you get a V6 like I did you apreciate your 4 cyl that much better. I can drive 80 for a hr and not see the needle move but let me drive 20 miles of rush hour it's difrent. When I had the rental I think I went to the gas station before and after work. Hold in there... we need to put heads togehter and fight the lapis curse!
