wobble in front end during breaking
no matter how fast i am going, when i brake the front end seems to feel lopsided. i think it might be the wheels, because I had the brakes checked, but im wondering if anyone else has had this problem, because i dont want to buy a new set of wheels right now (just replaced the tires)

Not sure what you mean by "lopsided," but things you should look at in addition to the brakes are rotors, alignment, balance, shocks, suspension bushings, and ball joints/control arms.
|
maybe your front rotors are "distorted" (thats from u dudesky :) )
EDIT: sorry i should specify, you cant actually inspect the rotors and tell they are warped/distorted, the only way to really know is if you take them out and roll them you will see them wobble a little bit(and thats if they are really, really bad) and i doubt whoever checked your brakes went through that much labor of taking the rotors off and since it only happens when braking, it wouldnt be your wheels |
I say the same thing. Your rotors might be warped. Do you also feel the pulsing feeling (your brake pedal pushing your foot) on the brake pedal?
|
Possibly a warped rotor, since its only when braking, could be other parts though as mentioned above.
|
My tierods caused my car to have a wobble, I had replaced my brakes, and my control arms, etc before that. Hopefully your tierods aren't frozen like mine were so you could probably just buy the tie rod ends.
|
did you have your new tires balanced when they were installed?
|
Any one get a minor feel of road grind during the drive? No squeak like brakes or hard metal to metal....it is inconsistent depending on road...still got a boss driver feel...just feels more grainy...tires are good too...will have it checked...at 64k miles...still a dream ride...
