here lately when im coming to a stop from like 45 or higher the car shakes or vibrates real bad, or if im goin like 80 or something and start braking it feels like the wheels are gonna come off, tonight i was on the interstate and i hit 100 not payin attention comin around a turn but not like a sharp one or anything and it felt like my wheels were jerkin like i was gonna loose one or loose control of the car when i started to brake.. its never done this before, i know i have good brakes, i have brembo crossdrilled and slotted rotors and new pads in the rear but not up front. i know i need a camber kit im on stock wheels now with 1.75 drop in front and 1.5 in rear, could that be why its shakin like that cause i need a camber kit or do i need an allignment?? thanks

 

Are your lugs all tight? I rode in cars with similar symptoms and the lug nuts were loose. Another thing to check is the bearings in the hubs. I'd also check to see that all the suspension components are tight and in good shape.

 

hubcentric rings?

drilled and slotted rotors suck. just get the brembo blanks and call it a day. ive heard numerous stories of those things warping..or ******* up pads...thats probably y u have a pulsating pedal.

sounds like your brake rotors are warped. full faced rotors such as brembo blanks work best along with nice pads like hawk. i use autozone rotors and hawp hps pads. work great. better then oem.

 

Axle.
if it shakes while driving at high speed its an axle.

the rotors could need replacing too. mine shook violently when i STOPPED but not while moving. replaced the rotors. problem went away.

and ive been in cars with bad axles
they shake like *****.

 

it could also be the torque of the lugnuts. if they are too tight, it'll warp the rotor and damage the axle. take the wheels off and re-torque using a torque wrench. good luck.

 

are your tires unevenly worn? if so, and the metal radials are sticking out, that would be the cause of your shaking at higher speeds. but, definitely the rotors are warped if it shakes when you brake

 

yes i second sparkz. sounds like your rotors are warped to ****. might wanna take off your rim and see exactly how straight/flat they are.

 

Yea sounds like warped rotors. Too bad your can't get cross-drilled rotors resurfaced.

 

it was actually my front left wheel, the lugs were loose and one was barely hanging on, i think someone was messing with it, i made a post about it in members corner.

thanksguys, im taking it tomorow to get checked just in case.
