Sorry, I should have been more clear.

The thud, thud, thud was a different issue. I heard it this morning as I was accelerating down my street.

The braking shaking has been going for a couple of weeks.

I'll have the rotors checked out(this afternoon) for warping and report back.

 

I'll keep that in mind. I already accelerate and generally drive like a grandpa, no reason I can't apply that to braking.

Who would I go to for rotor turning?

 

Gotcha, I thought you had a thud and it was associated with your peddle pulse. The guys are right.

 

Youll probably need new rotors. You can go anywhere for that, or you could just do it yourself.

 

the best thing to do if you can remove them yourself is take them to a napa or orielys, and have them turned normally 10-15 dollars a pc. if you do not know how to remove take them where you had your brakes done and have them turn them. And honda, he said they are new with only 15k miles on them. no reason to get new ones!!!!

 

has anybody else noticed this thing is an 02 with 68k on it? hot damn! must not be a daily driver like mine!

 

It only has 60k on it and is a dd. I only live 7.5 miles from work. I have owned it since 05. Bought it with 25k on the clock.

 

Common answer as I have seen is for people to say warped rotors.

Is the shimmy consistent or does it amplify at higher speeds? Does it initially vibrate and then go away or again is it consistent?

Bad balljoints and more so bad tierod ends can cause some bad shimmying. I would look into those as well.

Also, you cannot visibly see the warping of rotors and if they are warped, throw them away and get new one's. Cutting warped rotors will reuslt in more warped rotors.

 

It is fairly consistent until I am slowed to idle speeds.

 

With that along with your pedal vibration and NOT your steering wheel vibrating....Yes, sounds like your rotors.

Biggest thing about the rotors is their make-up(quality of metals).
Break-in procedure is pretty important and I don't know why it's not stressed enough. This requires bedding the pads to the rotors by doing 5 or 6 heavy braking from 50mph-5mph all directly in a row, then go easy for a few times from like 25/30mph-10mph but NOT in a orw. pretty much the 2nd part is normal driving back home from your heavy braking efforts.

Rotors also warp when you get them hot and drive through a puddle or car wash. The instant cold on super hot metals is no good.
Although it's uncommon for the rear to have the vibrations in these trucks, I wouldn't rule them out completely. just make sure there is no rust or major grooving goin on back there.
