#2552, "AEM Big Brake Kit"


          

I have the AEM Big Brake kit front and rear. I have this problem with severe steering wheel vibration and car shuddering around 50-35 mph. Anything higher or lower than these speeds there is no vibration. I just put Axxis pads on all four corners. I was told by a buddy of mine that unbalanced wheels can cause this.

Well I just want a second opinion. My wheels are unbalanced since my wife hit a curb after a car slid into her lane. Ever since then the shaking has happend....only during braking I might add. Also if I hit the Brakes hard there is no vibration period from 100-0 nothing just LOTS of FORCE pulling you forward.

Can any of you guys help me?

Yes wheels could be out of balance and causing this, but when she hit the curb she could have bent something. Check out the suspension if you get the wheel balanceing and it doesn't fix it.

Maybe your rims are bent a little. Or it could be bent suspension parts or steering parts. When I hit the curb I hit both steering knuckles were bent badly. Guess you should get it looked at or check it out yourself.
