Permanent Brake fix

The rear brakes apparently are not doing much of the braking. When I changed the rotors at about 18,000 miles (judder, pedal going to the floor), the OEM rotors in the rear still looked like new, compared to the front rotors, which were showing substantial wear.

I live In London Ont. Have had the brakes worked on 3 occasions. The first time the dealer machined the front rotors and replaced some of the caliper hardware. The fix lasted about 5000kms, the judder reappeared just as bad as the first time. I took it in the second time and they checked it over and told me that they were going to replace the rotors, but that they had to be recieved from Nissan. Unfortunately they didn't resurface the rotors to fix it temporarily, and I'll tell you why I wished they had. I had to wait 3months for these parts! Anyway the third fix replaced all rotors and pads front and rear. I hope this is the real fix this time. Iv'e only put about 800kms so far.

The new brakes seem alright...finally.

I had the rotors turned once at about 16,000 and at about 25K there was a little shimmy reappearing...

But now all is well.
