alright heres the deal... when i brake when im going around 60-70 mph my steering wheel shakes pretty hard but once it gets around 40 mph it stops and doesnt do it over 80 mph either. i can also feel something in the gas peddle and even on the floor when im driving like something may be bent, im thinking tie-rod or alignment... but i dont really wanna spend money for both

i have looked at the tie-rods and didnt seem to be bent but maybe i didnt look good enough, idk.

any ideas on the problem if people have had?

also, my brakes squeek randomly, seems like once they get heated up they do... they have pretty new pads and rotors are fine. anyone have this problem with the stock brakes? and will slotted rotors fix this since they reduce heat?

most likely warped rotors dude....fronts will shake the steering wheel whenever they're that way

wouldn't hurt to check your ball joints and hubs while you're at it

Not sure with the steering wheel thing. For the brakes if the squeeking annoys you there is anti squeeling compound you can put on the backs of the pads. Its only a couple of bucks.


When my rotors were warped, I could feel the shaking no matter how fast I was going. The feeling was greater however when braking from a higher speed.

65mph shakes
had the samething happen to me

need to get the tires balanced and rotated, it worked for me
you might have to get a front alignment if that doesnt work

happened to me before i wrecked her. i never knew what it was but it would come and go. some times nothing and somtimes it would shake at 45+mph...i thought it was just snow in my wheel well so i left it...haha

definately need new rotors...i have the same issue got them replaced a whole new car after!

Nussle

that may be it, today i noticed when i was creeping up with my brakes on a little it squeaked with small intervals where it didnt squeak.

haha. yeah, i can feel it in the gas petal a little, especially when going around corners. any recommendations on some nice slotted rotors?

check for rust buildup on the rotors...especially on the inside facing the engine

Nussle

yeah there is rust build up on the inside which is why i was going to get them replaced in the first place, but now i have all the more reason to get them right now.

recommendations on some slotted rotors? what looks nice and does the job?
