Help with front end
Guys,
I have been deployed for seven months and just got home yesterday and when I got in my 98 vett and went for a drive I noticed a vibration when using my my breaks on I95 cruisng around 70 MPH. I am sure this is not normal, do you think my rotorrs need to be turned, replaced or do I need a alignment. I hope it's not a tire rod broken. Even when I was just cruising in the parkinng lot around 12 MPH slowing down it seemed a little jerky while applying the breaks. Please help me trouble shoot this. I know the dealer will chark probaly 100 dollars just to look at it.

8 months you may have flat spotted the tires.

A flat spot can develop on the tires from sitting in one place for a long time, tire shop can tell.

The hottest thing that most of us like to get is latest magazines and MP3 players. Everything else they already have but everybody is wrtitng home to get mp3 players with a plethora of music already installed. Ipods seems to be the the one of choice since it is so versatile anf (PERTY)! I got one from my wife with three thousand songs. It was nice and help kill time.
