The lug nuts need to be hand torqued with a torque wrench and not done with
one of those color coded snap-on air gun sockets. You should have been
given new rotors and not having the old ones turned. When you have your
tires rotated, specify you want the lug nuts hand torqued. Have it put on
the bill pay extra for it--it is insurance that the shuddering will go away.
The 98 Nissan Maxima had a service bulletin about this issue. When a dealer
turns a rotor it is pure profit for them. New rotors cost about $50. each
