Gents!
ive been quiet for a while since my car was running fine, now i need your help again!
my RL (05 140ysh k) developed a fast, oscilating steering wheel wobble, kinda like shaking a spray paint with the bb inside (less noise ofcourse). It only happens when breaking from higher speeds (say 40mph and up) its speed dependant (if i was breaking from 80mph its shakes at teally high frequency then the shake slows down with the speed) car runs fine otherwise. I was sure its the front brakes as i heavent touch them in 2 years. I got new napa rotors and pads, today i lifted the car and to my surprise the old rotors look fine, pads have plenty of life left in them.... what should i look for, i have a broken stabilizer link socket bit its been like that for a long time with no symptoms.... someone help please!


ps tires are 3.5 years old, not a whole lot of thread left but i just dont understand why would an off balance wheel cause problems while braking only....

have a great weekend!

Check to see if your brake caliper pins are stuck. Ensure they are lubricated with silicone lubricant and are sliding freely.

Ill check them, didnt cross my mind since why would they bind during breaking Brakes release fine

Allright guys, since i got no recomendations i will change the front brakes anyway since i bought them a week ago, will keep you posted, if the problem is still there i will attack rear brakes since some aurozone duralast crap is currently in the rear, i got a strange feeling that the rear brakes could cause this. Will keep you posted!

Don't Duralast parts have a lifetime warranty? You could probably get free replacement parts on the rear...

Gents. Just for the record the front rotors and pads fixed the problem!
