I have a 94 chevy lumina with 206,000 miles. The brakes on the front were shaking when I applied brakes so I changed the pads and looked at the rotors and they looked smooth. After changing the pads it shakes even worse than it did before. Especially at speeds above 50 mph. I am thinking maybe the rotors are warped? any ideas? thanks
