warped rotors dont make ticking noises, they make the steering wheel shake when braking

i have something similiar and i can't pinpoint it. although i will say at first i thought it was my rotors (i figured maybe one of the slotted edges was making noise when it hit the brake pad or something). i know it sounds alot like putting baseball cards in the spokes of a bicycle.

my next thought was that it could be a bearing, but they make more of a roaring noise, something on the axle flapping against a non-moving part of the steering knuckle. then i thought it could just be air oscillations since the rims are rotating and the rotors have slots, but i don't think this is a viable answer. then i gave up because i was out of ideas.

i plan on doing a brake job this weekend or next (whenever my rotoras arrive), i will let you know what i find in there. i'm really hoping i can pinpoint it.

Toda i took it easy on the brakes and the "ticking" was not there.

here is something, check the tires, if u have a nail or something, it will make that noise everytime it hits the ground.

i cant see how it can relate to the rotors.

do you have x-drilled rotors or slotted rotors?
