I got a 05 chevy malibu maxx with 130k miles.
My brake rotors keep getting warped for some reason, im on my 2nd pair already and theyre starting to get warped again. I already replaced the calipers aswell but still the same problem.
The steering wheel shakes only when im braking. HELP PLEASE!

Make sure:
- you're tightening all the lug nuts to spec.
- the rear brakes are working properly and adjusted
- don't do a lot of hard braking, and then sit with the pads clamped to the rotors. This can create hot spots. Give them a chance to cool.
- Make sure there's no play in the wheel bearings

How long do you expect rotors to last?
Are you using OEM ones or the cheapest aftermarket ones you can find?
They last about 2 months and am using after market
Okay there’s a problem if they’re only lasting 2 months. I would follow @mountainmanjoe ‘s advice very carefully to rule out user/installation error. Using aftermarket is fine, as long as you don’t buy the cheapest ones available.
