Re: Front vibration under hard braking

To All,

Thank you for all your contributions. Here is what I know:
The brake line is not collapsed – I checked.
Calipers are moving freely without any hang ups or stops.
Brake pads wear off evenly on both sides.

Rotor heating up…. could be an issue. I drive to work every day across the hill and this may have contributed to rotor heating up.

Hard braking... i do this very rarely, almost never. All i have to do is tap the brakes for the car to start shaking. Again, it only happens if speed exeeds 50 mph.

I have never heard of a term “Brake warp”, I will do some research.

From what I understand, my next step would be to try drilled rotors. I will let you know if this solves the problem.

Thanks

nikita
