Yes, my rear rotors caused a steering wheel shake.

have you had the driveshaft checked lately? Stock or not, an unbalanced driveshaft will cause "shakes" while driving. Depending on a shop's balancing procedure, one shop's work will differ from another's. Also depends at what speed they balance the shaft at. Some shops balance at higher speeds, with the assumption that that's all that needs to be done.

Just a thought.

i've replaced all rotors since i've noticed the problem so i guess that rules that out for me.
