Brakes problem
1995 Buick Lesabre 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 104k miles

When I am stopping the brakes grab real bad especially from 40-30 or so. They grab in a pattern like there is 1 bad spot in them. The car has been in 2 wrecks (one on each front wheel) and I have already replaced the front struts. The discs and pads look OK and when we measured the discs for warpage they only moved the instrument out .005" Are they warped and need to be replaced? We have not checked the drums as closely as I am quite sure it is in the front.

Take the brake rotors in and have them turned. Then check the tire rod ends for any play. Let me know how it goes.
