Steering wheel vibrates when braking

If it tries pull the steering wheel back and forth, it is brake rotors. If it just vibrates threw the body and steering, it is the right side wheel bearing.

I would replace ALL motor & transxale mounts if they are
over 8 years old
I would suspect, as usual, the shops don't remove rust or lube
a thing on brakes,I would do that Take them apart again
Recheck all work that was done
I would drag the brake while on the gas, when it
vibrates, to turn off the trans torque converter clutch
& see if that is an issue.
Could have a bad axle joint
I would in no way trust any shop to have done
a though job of what your saying.
You most likely have worn inner ties rod joints on the
steering rack,something else to check
What about tie rod ends & ball joints & upper strut bearings?

This is due to poor settings of the wheel bearings,tyres,- check balancing once again, wheel drums/ brake pads,suspension , joints and steering.
In all the entire front suspension must be checked, the WHELL ALIGNMENT must be checked with precision and each of the wheels must be checked for damage on hub, axle or chassis.

Hi

First check that the wheel studs are correctly tightened on the vehicle!

Sounds obvious I know but I have seen it happen and we sometimes have a tendency to overlook the most obvious issues of all!

Now to deal with the other aspects and potential causes of this problem. Steering wheel vibration under braking is most often down to warped rotors. Other factors like badly worn brakes pads or suspension wear can also play a part but warped brake rotors are the most common cause of this. You can have the rotors repaired by machining them but in my experience this always turns out as a false economy in the long run. Best advice replace rotors altogether if found to be warped.

In dealing with the rotors you should also have your other braking components checked e.g hoses, calipers and also replace the brake pads and fluid as required.

Wheel vibration that occurs under normal driving in the absence of braking is a different issue and has other potential causes.

1) Wheel balance is out.
2) Worn suspension components/bushings on the vehicle.
3) Vehicle alignment is badly out.
4) Wheel rim(s) are buckled
5) Tyre(s) distorted or damaged.

As you appear to be having problems on both braking and driving it is important to have all of these issues checked.

Hope this helps. Please do rate my answer. Thanks.

HI gemeni756,

Get the wheel alignment done. That should fix the issue.

Thanks

Your car has front disc brakes, the disc's are running out of true, as u apply the brake this causes the steering wheel to shake, the higher the speed the more u feel this, the solution is to have the front brake disc's machined true again on a brake lathe or if they are to thin replace them.

If the brakes are fine, try rotating the wheels.
The tires it self could have a bad belt in it and have a soft spot. Try putting the front tires to the rear and the rear to the front, double check the tire pressure and see if the vibration go's away.
If the vibration is still there then the tires are good and it's the brake rotor or worn steering parts and or needs a wheel alignment. As the front end drops the toe-in changes geometry and may just be out enough to cause the wheels to vibrate.
Good luck and hope this help. I fine the brake rotors inexpensive enough at a parts store that it's better to change them rater then have then turned to a smooth surface again. If your handy try changing the rotors with new one's. Auto Zone has the parts and would give the step by step instructions to do the job.

Sounds like you need a wheel alignment
