Hello Fellow TLS Drivers!

I'm running on Comptech springs with stock shocks and have about 20 K miles on my TLS. Since about several months ago, when I brake at high speeds (e.g. on freeway) my steering wheel vibrates/rattles quite a bit. The shaking steering wheel gets worst as the road gets bumpier and the harder I brake to stop. What is going on with my car???

My guess is that:
1. Stock shock is worn out. Need to replace with aftermarket shocks. At least the front pair of shocks.
2. Some other parts on front suspension has worn out.


Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Sounds like your rotors are warped. Very common for TLs

I have the same problem, and my TLS is unmodified. It was explained to me that the problem is related to rotor warping as well.

Had the same problem when I had only 14k miles. You will need your rotors resurfaced and/or front brakes replaced.

if you ***** enough you'll get free pads and rotors instead of getting them resurfaced.

got new ones at 30k

hey, it's definately the rotors being warped. i actually just got mine fixed under warranty by acura today. they told me that it's due to over heating brakes, and to try shifting into d4 for prolonged periods of braking ( i live in the mountains of colorado, so that applies for me). i got almost 11k on mine after 7 months and they ground them down for free. i heard if it's still a problem, they'll give you new ones the second time around. hope this helps.

alloh (that's holla spelled backwards....so holla back).
