If by "pillows", you mean turn the rotors, rebuild the calipers and replace the pads... yep, you got it!

it does this when braking or when you're sitting there in drive with the brake on?

Is that like a secret code?

How the hell did he get "rotors" from "pillows"? Where can I get one of these decoder rings?

its automatic 1995 Mercury Mystique 4cylinder, damn i wished I could be possitive whats wrong so i could buy the part have friend of mine who is good at mechanics install it, than taking car to body shop who will rip me off and tell me i need to replace so many things

My mother-in-law had a 93 chev cavaleir, did the same thing u describe. I figured it was the torque converter, but it turned out she had a broken motor mount>>>could be that to

 

[Wduaqnug]

guess no other choice but to take it to the shop

On second thought, it sounds like one cylinder is missing at idle. Replace the plugs, wires, air filter, fuel filter, PCV valve and any other tune up related part you can think of. If that doesn't do it, take it to the shop to figure it out. Best price for all that stuff will be found at AutoZone. You're supposed to tune it every 40,000 miles anyway, so it's probably past due. BTW, buy decent wires!
