I have a 2006 Ford Excape XLT V6. I experienced a vibration when braking so I got new pads and rotors on the front in June 07. I bought them at Napa and my dad installed them. It is now October and I started experiencing the vibration again so we checked it out and they had sold me the wrong size rotors. They were replaced but the vibration is still there but only when braking between 40-45 mph. Could that have messed up something else? Please help! Thanks!

Do you feel it in the steering wheel as well?

Do you have rear drum or disc brakes?

Did the vibration change what-so-ever when the 2nd set of rotors were installed?
