I have a 92 accord. The front end has a noticeable shimmy when the brakes are applied. I checked the suspension and it does not seem to have play in it. The car rides fine even at highway speeds and the shimmy only happens when the brakes are applied. Is it possible that the brake rotors are warped? The disk pads seem like they have lots of lining left and the rotors are smooth (no gouges) . Anyone have any ideas or suggestions. What's a good way to check for rotor warpage?

Thanks in advance for any info.

 

Sounds like a typical case of Shake-n-Brake have the rotors resurfaced. To check for warped rotors you need special tool that costs more than a resurface.

 

-wheel weight are gone

-rotor took a crap

-tie rod ends are busted

-upper ball joint has too much play

 

You have warped rotors. Very common to Hondas unfortunately. If its not too severe you can turn them, but if it is severe you'll have to have them replaced.
