Default bad breaking vibration?

well when i break i get a vibration in the car, but not at driving speeds.

first i thought it was the brake being warpped. but i changed all of the brake front nad back.

could it be my ball joints? or tie rod ends? or worn bushings? all of those parts are pretty worn.

just put new tires on front and balanced all of them still can get rid of it.

I didnt really notice it until i did my z6 swap (i have ES engine inserts in).


any thoughts?

Probably the infamous worn EF steering rack. Your old balljoints/bushings aren't helping either. Trust me a new rack is a WORLD of difference all around.

Did you have front rotors resurfaced when changing out the pads?

rotors . been through it twice. find higher rated pads that don't heat up and dissipate better.

well i put on new rotor and "gold" pads. (not sure of the brand, but a little better than the silver)

i am going to do the ball joints and tie rod ends along with some of the bushings from my master set. (some of them go on the steering column.)

hopefully that helps, its very fustrating no have to guess at the problem. any other thoughts?
