Mike, there is a clasp to hold the rotors in place. I
could see where this would cause a vibration if the
wheel manufacturer did not take this into account. It
might be as simple as removing that retainer for both
front rotors.I had similar problems years ago with my
AMC Javelin that had small stud heads sticking out of
the drums. Boy does that take me back.
