Hey maybe somebody on here can help me out on this one. I was getting a pretty bad back and forth shaking of the steering wheel under braking, so I got in and took the rotors out, had them turned. I guess the guy who turned them for me said only one of them was warped - he thought maybe one side's caliper wasn't traveling correctly.
I put it back together after cleaning the two long-shouldered bolts that the caliper travels on and I put a little lithium grease on those. None of them looked rusty or anything. Anybody want to give me an idiot's guide explanation as to what is going wrong with my brakes? or how exactly they work, for that matter? Am I thinking correctly on both of these situations?

BTW the car stops smooth as silk (after grinding the rotors)...I just don't want to have to buy new rotors until I can put some real stopping power under the car!
