My steering wheel shook pretty badly before when braking at higher speeds. I replaced the front rotors (rotors were from Autozone) and the problem virtually disappeared. However, two weeks later, the steering wheel is starting to shake again when braking at higher speeds. It shakes very slightly, not as bad as before, but is noticeable. The tread of 3 of the tires are decent, 1 tire has more wear at the inner radius but has been rotated to the back.

Can the rear rotors cause this and should I replace them also??

Has the cheap rotors from Autozone starting to go bad again??

-- I don't drive recklessly. Suggestions? Thanks!

 

steering wheel shake when braking at high speeds is a cause of front brake issues. If you replaced you rotors you should check your pads also. THats usually a good place to start. Good luck

 

when your driving pull on the brake slightly, if you feel a pulsation then you know its the back brakes. If you step on the pedal alone and feel it then you know its up front.

I would shake down the front end to check for play.

 

Also worth having an alignment done and wheels balanced, check there's no play in the front ball joints, they can all add to juddering when braking.
