I just had my tires rotated on Monday, and now I have an crappy shimmy to my car every time I apply the brakes! Did anyone else have this problem? Do you think they just rotated the tires and not balanced them? If I go and have the tires balanced does anyone think that will make a difference?
Dave I know you had a problem similar to this but can't find that thread.
Thanks all,
Mike

I have the same problem on my new R/T and am taking it back to the dealer to fix. I feel it more under hard braking from 40+ mph.

That's also about when I feel it. I was hoping that the tires were wore and used to being on the tires they were on...and when they were rotated they weren't balanced or what have ya. I'm hoping my rotors aren't warped like Dodge Tech says...I'm sure that could be a pretty penny. But on that same note, the warranty should cover it right?!?! I hope.

nope rotors and brakes are a maintance thing. If u just replaced the tires i would say u have around 30k miles and thats about when brakes are low. Brakes are only used when u apply them the tires spin all the time the car is in motion so not a chance the tires are a shimmy when u apply the brakes sorry
