Could a bad alignment cause my brakes to feel warped and my steering wheel to shake only around 30 mph when braking? I don't think the rotors are warped because they are pretty new and only feel warped around 30 mph. Thanks

 

It's possible.
Also, you might wanna check and see if the tires are balanced.

 

just take off your wheels and check your rotors for uneven wear. Simple, free, and will save money later.

deffinately check the tires. I just got my car back an hour ago from the alignment shop and I had the balance the tires at the same time.

 

well i got new tires like 5 months ago and they should have balanced them then right?

 

did you change your pads with your new rotors? also, my rotors are warped and it feels like the front end is gonna shake off....

anyway, if you kept your old pads, maybe they made the rotors wear unevenly

 

also a shaking could be because of a bad axle, check your cv boots/joints

 

The pads were new with the new slotted rotors. The front right axle is new and the left is older but seems to be in fine condition. Thanks for the suggestions

 

is your steering wheel in the right position when you r driving straight forward? Or When you are driving forward you have to pull the steering wheel to the left or right to make it go straight forward?

 

oh dear god check the ball joints my friends car lost hte ball joint and it did some serious damage... and my bimmer was shaking cause of the ball joint too

 

What kind of stupid advice is this!?!?!?!?!?!

You gotta ask a couple of questions first.

1. did this just start?
2. If so, what was done to the car before?

the steering wheel is pretty straight when im driving straight so my alignment seems ok but sometimes if i get on the brakes and let go of the wheel, the car Will pull to the left. The ball joints are good and the Left one is new. I put a new tie rod end on the left side and I might have screwed it on too many/little rotations but I'm pretty sure i didn't because I left the bolt where it was so I wouldn't make that mistake. The rotors seem to be evenly worn but I'm not positive.
