Default Brake problems

I have an 02 V70 and just replaced the front rotors and pads. The brakes before this were vibrating pretty bad when braking. Although it is much better than it was it still viibrates pretty bad when braking. I made sure the hub mounting surfaces were very cleaning when I bolted on the new rotors. Could it be the rears or could there still be an issue with the fronts? Never had a car before with rear discs. From my experience the front usually cause this problem.

Default Question

Hello, How long ago did you replace these parts? Did you bed the new discs in? Kira

It could be the rears. Do you feel it in the car, or in the steering wheel? If the steering wheel vibrates, it's the fronts. If it is the car, it is the rears.

I just put the bakes on last week. I did a number of short hard stops for about 20 minutes after putting them on. The vibration is more in the car itself so I guess it must be the backs.
