cranny Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 if you put new rotors and pads on it and it still shakes , its either cheap brakes , bad install , or soin else wrong. id say your calipers are seized up some and sticking , meaning always putting pressure on rotors even when brake pedal is released and wearing them out faster.

CleanGSR Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I currently have a bad rear tire (new one's on order) and my car shakes really bad if I do anything over light braking getting off the highway. Inspect all your tires and maybe have them re-balanced. Of course, as mine does, your car will have a shake to it period at highway speeds if a tire is bad or off balance; it just gets worse when you brake.

pd0019 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 i agree with hunggsr. check your tires, it could be that your balancing is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranny Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 if it was a tire it would shake all the time not just under braking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evo_Jr Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 if it was a tire it would shake all the time not just under braking. Thats hpw it was for my 4-door as well. I couldnt get on the highway because of the shake! I found out it was one of my steel rim and tire. Got 17's, and it rides fine. Go ahead and check the tires. Those are the only 2 i can think of off the top of my head. Tire & Breaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xalexjx@yahoo.com Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 its not tires, either your brake disk is outof of balance or they are warped, also make sure the disk was installed on strait, is the two screws were tightened unevenly it disc could be calked off, it is not the wheels, other wise it wouldnt do it during just braking, it would do it under all driving conditions over 55mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
