Ok, I don't know anymore. I have had the entire suspension checked out, I changed my rotors, bought new wheels, balanced and aligned, replaced my rear shoes and drums but I still have a effin vibration in my steering wheel when I hit the brake...

Does ANYBODY have any other ideas? It is annoying as hell.

 

you replace the pads in the front too, did you check you hubs???

 

umm only thing left would be your steering intermediate shaft as far as i know.

 

why would that only pulsate under braking??


could be a bent piston not returning to the caliper.

 

idk so much about a bent piston as much as a caliper slide haning up and causing the pads to superheat and warp the rotors...or...did you clean all debris off of the hubs before putting on the rotors?....or.....you could have a "separated" tire.....or....of all things and kinda far fetched an abs problem???? Was there a specific time that the vibration started??? oh or maybe but again farfetched but it could be a loose tie rod end? or balljoint?

 

i get mad shakes when i brake in my 2.4... and ive had all four brakes replaced... i feel like its just what the ABS does

 

if your rotors are warped...then check your hubs... try driving slow on a flat parking lot and see if the steering wheel moves back and forth real slow...or if you can safely raise the front of the car and while the wheels are on and if you can see the rotor from the back side see if you can watch the inner brake pad move in and out then its bent... but like i said only do this if you can SAFELY watch it

 

well i had this happen, i took it in for warranty and they grinded the rotors down...fixed it..

the problem i was told from a warranty rep was that GM is a bunch of cheap ass's and puts super cheap shitty pads on our cars, when breaking the shitty pads (that are made not to ware down as easy so the warranty depo doesnt have to warranty pads offten) grinds away at the rotors causing them to ware down.

theres your problem. that or its not alot of vibrations and your just complaining about nothing.

 

Did you get NEW rotors and NEW pads?

 

Yes

Had them check the steering

Yes cleaned, wheels are brand new, not separated.

Vibration is in the wheel, not the pedal like ABS

No movement, checked this.

Rotors were replaced with aftermarket and pads are EBC greenstuffs... and Im not complaining about nothing. When I hit the pedal the wheels shakes violently.

Yes, and again its the wheel, not the pedal.

 

loose wheel???? torqued to spec??

 

well then judging by all this info your screwed!!!! LOL But no really though mine did the same thing on my stock brakes and they machined my rotors down....but since youve now replaced the rotors and pads w/aftermarket ....idk thats weird like I said before it almost sounds like something in the front end....I know you said the dealer ck'd it but id be willing to guess 90% that they're full of **** based on the info.....try jacking it up and ck'ing the lower control arm bushings ive been hearing of those going bad a lot lately....

 

new rotors can come warped. have them cut. they may just have some runout.

if its only happening when braking the try that first.
