TL-S Two Issues---> Mirror Rattle & Brake Vibration....

I have two lingering issues with my 07' TL-S that are annoying me.

1) My sideview mirror on the drivers side seems to be rattling (I think that's it). I've read about the issue on here before, I was wondering if anyone had any success fixing it themselves

2) Under extreme breaking my Brembos vibrate the care pretty violently for a couple seconds.... I notice it less after I rotate the tires, but it eventually comes back. Could this be a torque issue on the lugs? Wheel out of balance? Or could it be the performance ET-500 pads? Worn rotors (hope not at less than 20,000 miles).

Any thoughts?

Could be warped rotors. I changed my rears last week and that fix my problem. The exposed side looked 'ok,' but the insides looked f'n disgusting after only 2 yrs installed!

Btw, I have a non-oem setup, but this can happen to any..

If the brake issue only happens under extreme conditions, it could be just the ABS engaging. You'd notice warped rotors anytime the brakes were applied.

Negative, I know what the ABS sounds/feels like. Let me explain "extreme"...."driving on the highway at 75 mph and putting the brakes on hard to rapidly slow to say 45-50" OR "driving down a steep hill side and hard braking to slow for a corner". I wasing referring to braking so hard that i'm locking all 4 up and causing the ABS to engage....
