STRONG Wheel Shake

[accord885]

i am getting major steering wheel shake when breaking even slightly at highway speeds... tierod?

[Maple50175]

Yeah when i brake is wicked scary its liek something is sticking or something and i have no clue what is it..

[ckyskater733]

something is like that in my step brothers bmw. i remember someone said it was a problem with the rotors. it only happened when braking above 45, and it stalled out on my twice cuz it was shaking so bad.

ya it be a good idea to check ur rotors, pades, rims, tires.. make sure everything is stright and not bent..

warped roters can make the car shake that bad??

take it from someone who knows. u got either warped rotors or u need a front end alignment. remember when its in the steering wheel it the front when the shakin is in your ass or ur seat its the rear of the car usually out of line

Oh yup rotors can wark because of tightening or not puttin em on back correctly or they can become so hot from excessively hard braking and get so hot that when it gets hit with water they can warp that and warp brakes.

[slobluaccord]

its your rotors. trust me.

ya ive had this problem for about a year now at high speeds when braking. what u can do is just go to a local auto shop and have them cut the rotors. it will be like 50 bucks or something. im still waiting to do this. i got new tires and they did a front end alignment and i thought it would help but it really didnt. it only helped with keeping the car strait while under hard acceleration.

Check those tierod joints too, both at the knuckle and up at the rack. I actually have both issues, a warped rotor and loose steering mechanism.

When the car is up, you can wiggle the front wheels a bit, not good. I'm sure it contributes to the shudder during braking.

Its the rotors , my dads maxima had this problem, they warped and when I would drive the car it would shake so bad. too bad they are expensive, his came free because of his warnt.
