Hi guys

this is my first posting here

I got a 97 Accord SE, very rare ones

the problem is when im driving in the freeway or street, at 60 miles or over, and i brake the steering starts to vibrate, in a medium instesity then a litte harder.

do you guys think, i might need to change or shape my brake disc?

or something else?

helps will be good

Thanks

get your rotors machined or replace them, they're uneven and when you hit the brake it causes the steering wheel to wobble.

 

It may not always be the rotors, My car also has the same problem but the rotors are perfect. The reason may be a weak wheel bearing. You can get that checked at a workshop.

 

I always thought that was the ABS at work..

 

99% chance you just have some warped rotors

get them turned or just get new once.

 

first of i agree its 99% the rotors but its not a good idea to get them turned...its better to have honda rotors replaced rather than "repaired"

 

nothing wrong with getting the rotors turned unless you got slotted and/or drilled rotors.

 

cant hurt to check for uneven tire wear/alignment as well...probably a rotor issue though

I think you should wait and watch a bit, coz my problem disappeared on its own after a couple of months. Get the rotors checked at sears, they do a complete brake inspection for 15 bucks (they check for rotor warping, they tell you if you can machine the rotors, which is possible only if the thickness of the rotor is greater than the minimum suggested by honda. see what they say, and proceed from there. Unless you have unlimited money of course

 

well, money is not mainly the most i have... hehe

so ill follow ur tip

thanks everyone, you all are gonna see me here more often

99.9% chance ur rotors are NOT warped, most likely its residue from the pads that sticks on the surface of the rotor unevenly, read up on http://www.accordinglydone.com its got a lot of info
