2001 Maxima GLE with 148,000 miles.

Not being an expert, I just want to confirm my guess-timation that I need to replace my brake rotors. When braking, I feel a "lumpiness". This is not the ABS system activating (plus, I'm not braking that hard). I can basically feel the "lump" on each revolution during braking. Very easily noticeable as you near a stop and the revolutions slow down.

Warped brake rotor is my guess? Note: Brake pads were replaced on all four corners about 18 months ago.

Thanks in advance.

upgrade to 6th gen fronts. rotors calipers and pads

Appreciate the response. Car has 148,000 on the odometer. I mostly drive it around the city (so say under 50mph). To my knowledge, unless you are suggesting otherwise, there is nothing wrong with the calipers. And I just replaced the pads around 18 months ago.

Curious what the cost delta would be if simply new rotors are needed vs upgrading to 6th gen?

Cost is cheap from a reasonable junkyard, but if you're not going fast, then it's pointless, especially since you got new pads. Get whatever on ebay and call it a day lol.

Thanks. Yeah, not a racer anymore. Car is my daily driver to and from work. I just want her to last until at least 200K miles (another 8-10 years for me) and then she can retire to car heaven.

Rotors are warped. Time for some new ones when you change the pads.
