24692, steering wheel shakes when i brake?
Posted by elude, Jul-08-04 02:30 PM
just noticed it recently. but ive had my car aligned and wheels balanced pretty recently. overall the car drives very smooth, but the problem is that whenever i brake (usually like coming off the freeway) my steering wheels starts to shake pretty bad. at idle tho, the car is fine. any input. thanks.

Change your rotors and brake pads.

prolly more likely due to improper pad break-in or the rotor not sitting flush against the hub. most rotors don't warp under normal street conditions.

Same exact thing happened to my car, when i went in to have it checked out, they said it was the rotors had been turned too many times. Sounds like it is time for some new rotors and pads man, i would reccomenned some powerslot slotted rotors and hawk break pads, have worked well for me. Just me 2 cents.

I've heard it said that for the price of rotors these days it's not worth having them turned :shrug
