sometimes when i hit the brakes, the front of my car shakes back and forth pretty bad. im guessing that my front discs are warped. i read somewhere that they can warp pretty easily when braking hard around corners. i tend to do that alot because i live in the mountains where there is alot of downhill cutbacks.

 

did you actually look at the rotors? just pull the front wheels off and look for grooves in them or anything else that doesnt look right.

 

Do you mean it pulls to one side or the other. When mine did that, I changed the front brake hoses (rubber part connecting hard line to caliper) and it solved that problem.

 

It does sound like warped discs. You would have a shaking steering wheel only when on the brakes. Keep in mind that and worn steering or suspension bushings or links will only amplify such a defect.

You should also take a serious and close look at your steering and suspension components. Most common are worn tie rods, centerlink and/or pitman arm. Last but certainly not least check for worn or mal-adjusted wheel bearings.

 

yeah, the steering wheel shakes alot. thanks for the input. ill will check it out.
