When i brake from about 45mph+ my steering wheel shakes real bad. I doesnt seem to affect my braking performance and i dont feel anything in the pedal. Does anyone else experience this or is this indicative of something needing to be tightened?

 

Normally if it is just when braking it will be your front rotors...

If it is your rotors they might be able to be turned (if they are thick enough) or replace them.

 

Front rotors are warped. Also check the front caliper slide while your at it.

 

Are you a late breaker? The heat will warp the rotors. Break sooner and softer.

 

I had this in my Yukon and that's probably what it is for u cause I did late breaking and it would like do a forward jumping movement

 

If you feel it in your steering wheel front rotors
If you feel it in the seat of your pants rear rotors

Needless to say if you work at a shop or have a buddy who does have them or yourself run those rotors down a lathe

Also make sure you clean the caliper slides and look at the piston boot on the caliper along with the two slide boots making sure they are not ripped

Problem will go away

 

yeah ive got access. will have too look at it. i do long trips between college and home through the mountains to i think i may have warped them during the trips. i suspected that but i didnt feel any thing other than the wheels shakes side to side so i wasnt sure

 

I just did this Saturday. it was 12 dollars a rotor at orielyes. it brakes so much smoother.

 

turned 12 a piece?

 

Yes sir i just got the front ones turned. 24 dollars for both to get turned and it took them about 45 min to do mine
