I just replaced my front pads and rotors guys, due to warpage. Now before the wheel would shake when I brake but now...........when I go highway speeds my wheel shakes a bit and my alignment is good I completed it two months ago??????????
I love the car but this is unenjoyable

 

balancing or an alignment issue i think.

 

check the cv joints

 

flush the brake fluid,,old fluid is weak, contaminated with moisture and rust,, and causes many problems

flush/bleed order is= driver front then clockwise around the car= LF RF RR LR
blame abs plumbing for the weird order

DOT4 spec fluid, synthetic or regular doesnt matter to street drivers
get 2 qts--use 1.5qts to do the job 110%

for shake prob get wheels balanced- find shop with Hunter Road Force machine- its trick~

 

how is it under braking?

there is a break in time as pads and rotors match together so slight brake shake can be that

 

im going to get my wheels balanced tomorrow , and i sometimes get that slow slip in the braking, but I had done an alignment not to long ago.

 

you can knock alignment out in 1 good pothole hit

 

Hey guys do you think that my left rear wheel sensor being not active could cause this because i have no abs and vsa

 

uh huh--no sensor = no system function

 

Get the tires rebalanced, and then go from there.

 

as I said before Hunter Road Force tire balance machine
call a few shops- one will have it- they are awesome at finding rim problems-
you can balance a wheel on a low speed spin machine and it looks ok- but at 60 its going to shake
It can find belt problems in tire- thats a possible with yours

will even tell you where to locate a tire on the car if doing all 4- best position for the way that tire tracks- stop rotating tires- not good for them!
ck internet for machine details, but its the only way to go on diagnosing tire shake issues

a good alignment shop will have one

 

You don't think it's wise to rotate tires? Or is this something particular to this issue that I missed?

 

I went to the shop with hunter force balancing machine and they told me my problem is not from the tires but front end. Also it was raining again today and when I braked in low speeds there came the vibration.

 

make sure you bed in the pads after installation, your vibration could be due to uneven distribution of pad material on the surface of the rotors. Stoptech's page has a good explanation of why you need to do this. As for bed in procedure, search the web for ones specific to your pad, if not, follow generic ones from hawks website

 

ok were they more specific like: you need lower ball joints?
that would allow wheel movement and shake

if you have performance brake parts- mrheeltoe has an excellent bedding method based on combination of several makers, a bit more detailed than hawks, with an explanation of why you do it http://heeltoeauto.com/httech/YaBB.pl?num=1184261899

non performance and brembos need special gentle care during first 500 miles, before aggressive bedding can be done

 

if it doesn't vibrate until you apply the brakes repalce the rear rotors or have them turned.

Only tires that don't need rotated are non-existant, so rotate the tires regularly.

if the tires are balanced then the issue is a bad CV, worn tie rods or a bad ball joint all which will increase in intensity the higher the speed, If you do not have a vibration until you apply the brakes then you have warped rotors on the car.

 

Okay guys just did the balance and still the problem persists, I have new front rotors and pads and I changed the rear rotors only. It seems to get worse now and braking is tougher

 

a good shop told you there were front end problems,,so you balanced the tires instead,,,ok
BUT
What parts still need replacement in the steering to keep the wheels from shifting and causing vibrations??

 

They just did my balancing they did not check my front end.

 

`I went to the shop with hunter force balancing machine and they told me my problem is not from the tires but front end.`

that shop told you there was more than balance prob--so who has diagnosed it and replaced the needed front end parts?

 

They just balanced and they didnt really look at the car.
I just came from a 2 week vacation and I notice that i always have to move my steering to the left and if I hit a crack in the pavement my car/steering goes right.

Could this be wheel alignment???????

 

yes...
but not from bad alignment--from tie rod ends or control arm bushings failed
That would allow the car to wander constantly as the alignent changes with every bump in the road

get it diagnosed fully by the alignment shop and replace whats needed
If upper control arm bushings bad, replace entire control arm--the lower bushing wont be far behind~

 

If your rack & pinion bracket is tight; your inner tierod ends are tight; your upper & lower control arm rubber bushing is tight; upper & lower ball joints are tight; upper & lower strut bushing & bolts are tight, then I would say yes, you have a wheel alignment issue that makes it pull to the right.....
maybe a camber or caster angle issue. Have a wheel alignment check done with a printout. I know Just Tires or Goodyear company owned stores offer a free wheel alignment check with a printout a few years back.
From there ask what their recommendations are then just decline/postpone the repair BUT keep the copy of the printout and have them explain it to you.
Let us know what happened.
