First servicing - brake vibration issue

[detalhe]

Well, this was my first time back to the dealer. I had already complained about vibrations under braking and so yesterday I took it there. I explained wheel balance had been preformed by Hunter balancing machines and I placed inside a big card saying 'Please don't wash', in red bold letters .

Today I picked it up and the disks where 'balanced', they rectified them, and for now it stoped vibrating. What I also noticed is that I also feel less vibration on bumpers and road irregularities, it could be me, but could be they also tightened something on the suspension

This said, I'm happy with this first dealer experience particularly because they didn't wash/swirled my black beauty

Good deal!! Not sure what they would have tightened up on the suspension, but as long as it feels better to you, that's all that counts. Good thing they can read.... many techs just ignore the special instructions on the ticket and do what you ask them not to..


I wonder if they just turned down the rotors due to pad deposits? Anyone hear of the rotors needing balanced on the 300 series? I think this is the first I've heard, but I cold have missed something,

I'm thinking the same as you Steve. If they were "somehow" unbalanced I think they would have replaced the rotors. I can't even think of where they'd stick weights on a rotor anyway. Probably just a case of uneven pad material on the rotors causing judder. Bed your brakes man!!!

The rotors where 'machined', they have marks of it (threads), although they used the term 'balance' it's not a case of adding weights on them like on the wheels,

Here's how the rotors look after being rectified:
