Brakes problem
2004 Suzuki Vitara 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I recently purchased 2 new rotors for my suzuki grand vitara and had my tech install the new rotors, when I drove off.I had a shake in the steering wheel when applying the brakes and it felt like the brakes was slipping when pressing on the brakes. I took off the wheel to check for oil or dirt on the rotors and didnt see any oil/dirt on the rotors. I then took it back the tech and explained what was going on and he install the old rotors back and I didnt have the problem anymore. My tech informed me that the rotors wasnt a good set and where not balance and I needed to take them back to the store and get a replacement. Was this information correct that I was told and thanks in advance for your answer

Yes, your machanics call was a good one. If these were OEM rotors It is extremly rare that one of them was cut crooked. But if they were Economy low- priced rotors, or made in China it happens frequently.
I have had to re-cut, or, turn China rotors twice this year that were new out of the box. Reinstalling the old set proved his therory.
