Default vibrating steering wheel...

90 lx, whenever i was hitting 100-110 km/h and also under braking from 100 km/h the steering wheel was vibrating. I recently put new tires, rotors, brake pads on, I did not get the alighnment done though. After the new rotors have been put on (by mechanic), the car started vibrating even mor violantly under braking. I can even hear some constant noise from the front left wheel now. Any suggestions?

Did you get a chance to look at the old tires when they pulled them during the change? Just wondering if they displayed any indications of bad alignment.

In my experience, shaking in the steering wheel at certain speeds is either the tires, or the alignment, but I'm not a mechanic and certainly don't take my word as gospel.

test drive car pull on e-brake if you feel a shake it is the rear drums out of round ,,, if rears are ok it is coming from frt rotors mm sometimes when using cheap non factory rotors they cause shaking when braking you might have to warranty them altough it could happen with honda rotors i have hardly seen it happen
