I recently had the tires changed on my integra. a few days later this problem arrived I don't know if the tires could have something to do but here goes. when applying break at high speeds or hard breaking at low speeds the steering wheel goes ape ****, can barely keep the car in a straight line for the steering wheel shaking left and right. does anyone know what could cause this or where to start looking? It only does it when breaking but the there is no vibration or feeling in the break pedal only the steering wheel.

 

Check your bushings. A seriously degraded bushing could be allowing all kinds of movement under braking. Otherwise, hope some more help chimes in here for you.

 

the slide pins in your caliper could be stuck and only one pad is pushing on the rotor it may cause it to screw it up...

 

Which bushings should i check? Thanx for the advise though, I am new to this so anything helps.

 

the breaks have been sqeeking every since i changed them about 2 months ago but i have been trying to avoid taking the wheels back off till i can get new lugs and studs cause the ones i have ( i found out when changing break pads) are stripped and i am afraid if i take them off i might not get them back on. but would the sqeeking be an idication of the slide pins being stuck?

 

i changed my old brake discs and it stopped the shaking.

rotors might be shot....caliper might be hanging up

have your tires rebalanced and inspect your caliper to make sure the pins are free floating, as stated above, and that the piston is not seized (can you compress it)

 

thanx for all the replys guys, (and no i didn't expect to make that gay little ryhme) i am out of town probably for a couple of weeks for work. As soon as i get back i will let yall know how it turns out. thanx once again.
