My steering wheel shakes while braking
My steering wheel shakes while braking
Im pretty sure its my rotors since i just replaced new wheels and tires and i had that same problem even before i did that. So it leaves me with brakes i guess....my only question is am i safe to drive like that i should i replace it as fast as possible... It doesnt shake much and only happens while pressing on the brake lightly at higher speeds... i have about 20 000 miles on the car and its a late 2005... im about to take a long trip and dont really have time to do it but i could if i really have to
what do u guys suggest safe or not ....

20k miles you could be ready for new pads and a rotor resurfacing to rid the shake~
Acura is well known for the warpmaster rotors they use
Many of us go aftermarket when it replacement time- there are a few excellent choices when you are ready
A brake shop can do an `on-car lathe` to cut the rotors flat and in line with the car
Its fast- you do need new pads afterwards-
Its worth it to get done before a trip- that constant shaking at low brake effort will get worse and can eventually cause lots of other damage!!!
I just found the bolt threads to mount the caliper--- stripped out on a 02 tl with rotor shake
Have to replace the caliper mounting bracket now- the bolts had ripped the threads from the bracket and metal shavings stuck to them---oooops

I would not be overly concerned about it unless it is a really violent shake. Try braking real hard and see how bad it is. If you do not have any real problems when braking hard you should be fine.

I have dealt with warped rotors for the past 10K, its not getting bad and the pads worn down. time for replacement, but I suggest that if you do a lot of highway driving that you get them replaced, you can find cheap OEM rotors from acuraoemparts dot com, I got them for around 80 each versus 122 each from the dealer.

yea, i had the same problem. mine was at 28k miles and i brought it back to dealership had them check on the vibration when brake applies on freeway. they re-surfaced the rotors and replaced new pads under warranty.
