When I brake I feel my steering wheel vibrating. I checked my brakes and they appear to have more than 75% brake life. What do you guys think it could be?

A simple search using google would have informed you that you warped your rotors

I don't know if tires play a role, but did you check if your lug-nuts were loose, if your tires are under the recommended PSI, lift your vehicle and do a 9-12 oclock shake test on the wheels/tires?

Could indicate warped rotors or worn lower control arm bushings. Any knocking when you hit a bump or hump, or come to an abrupt stop?

The lca bushings would cause it to shake constantly like mine is doing. With it only happening while braking, I would put money on the rotors being warped. Orielly's will turn them for $10 bucks a piece.

resurface your rotors.

Replace your rotors. It's not the brake pads. It's your rotors.

Also dont machine the rotors... just buy new ones---

new rotors will be best

Sweet, thank you guys.

What year Honda are we talking about? Does it do it if you use just your emergency brake too? Most likely your front rotors.

I resurface my rotors but yea its rotors if yhe lugs were loose theyd snap off. I had that happen on the hihway and all lugs broke off and my wheel went flying but when thwy snapped off i was going 70 and i was like the hell is that sound so i got off and dink! There goes the wheel.... But yea... Not the lugs or pads its the rotors

O and when ive had warped rotors on fwd cars the wheel vibrates alot so as i stated befor its rotor and a simple turning will make thwm like new

There are a few things that can cause vibration in the steering wheel.

tie rods, axles, warped rotors, tires, ball joints, alignment and even the mounts you are using. but if you ONLY receive the vibration while braking id have the rotors changed first as they are the most common to cause this and the cheapest fix out of the bunch.

lol, the only place (non shop) that will turn them here charge 60/piece.

For $10 Id turn them....for $60 I just replace and save 10 bucks, lol.
