#15907, "Well I got my brakes done last night...."


          

I started noticing vibrations when braking about a month ago and then they started squeeling a bit so I figured it was time to redo the brake system. I replaced the rotors and pads last night but still have a vibration today when driving on the highway. It only happens when braking. Otherwise the car is smooth as can be. I have already had an alignment, new tires (balanced), new struts and springs, just incase any of that might help.

Any idea what else might be causing my vibration when braking??



TIA

Chad

Might be time to rebuild the calipers or replace them.

brakes could not be broke in yet,

maybe throw on some SS lines and rebuild the calipers

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.
