The vehicle in question is the Taurus X in my sig. It had new brakes put on by the previous owners right before I bought it, and now 10k miles later it's developing the shakes at highway braking speeds. At lower speeds, it won't shake but I can feel the brakes grab 100% and then back off some and then grab again as the rotors make a full revolution so it's likely DTV or maybe runout.
So assuming that they went with the cheaper pads and rotors just to sell the vehicle, which one is the cause of the variation? I cannot see what the friction rating is on the pads anymore, and I don't know what brand any of the parts are. Just trying to decide if cleaning up the rotors will be the solution or new, better pads or am I stuck with having to do a full brake job? Thanks.
