My wife has been complaining from time to time about the front end of the car vibrating when stepping on the brakes going down a long hill. I heard about it a couple of years ago and didn't do anything about as I seldom drive the car and when I did it stopped straight and didn't seem to be hurting anything. I drove it today though the vibrations were more than bothersome to me. The steering wheel was actually shaking side to side. Anyway I torn down the front brakes and didn't see any problems that alarmed me but did see these spots on the rotors that could only be seen when they were removed from the spindles.
Anyway I installed new factory rotors and the problem went away. These don't have any casting marks or logos stamped anywhere so I suppose they came from somewhere in China. Anyone else seen something like this?
