I don't hear the pads squeaking, do I need to resurface my rotors?

be more specific, when is it shaking?

if you are say coming down a hill and it shakes while braking, it could be the rotor is warped and or some other suspension things (i.e. alignment) that need to be address.

Sorry for the lack of information, I had to run to something. But yeah, it occurs in situations like Kingdom described. Light braking when slowing to a stop.

My car does this sometimes... but my rotors were just resurfaced a couple of months ago. As long as it doesn't do it alot and my breaks don't squeak anymore, it's fine with me.

You should get ur rotors resurfaced, but if it isn't too bad, then don't worry about it. I lived with warped rotors for 6 months before I got them fixed. It sucks to drive and makes a lot of noise but I didn't have money to fix it.

Could also be a bad tie rod end. That could be very dangerous and should be checked.
