I had to drive with the dealership tech, and insist they over torqued my lugnuts, making the rotor off. They spun my rotors and road forced balanced again, so after three times going back to the dealership, the shake finially went away. MAKE SURE WHEN YOU GET NEW TIRES OR THEY TAKE THE WHEELS OFF, THAT THEY USE THE TORQUE SPECS WHEN TIGHTING THE LUGNUTS or your wheel will shake while braking and from 60-70. It still isn't perfect but I'm tired of spending my time at the dealership about this issue.

I'd go somewhere else next time you get your tires changed. I've been goint to Wheelworks for years taking wife and in-laws cars there too. They've made a lot of money off me but I don't think they've ripped me off yet. My wife thinks it's better for a woman to have a man there as backup. Even better if he knows something about cars.
