    Vibration under braking???????

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Anyone got any ideas as to what could be causing my steering wheel to shake when im braking. When i'm driving, everything is fine, it's only when braking. I installed a 355mm brembo kit a couple months ago, and everything has been fine. I took everything apart and retorqued. Can't find anything that could be the cause. Any ideas???

    could be a warped rotor or the rotor could be on backwards

    I had the same issue, I used a screw driver to clean the slots out (dust built up in winter).... They were fine after that.

    Also check you pads if you've had them on for a while. I just went through this with another car and the rotors and pads were gone.
