https://youtu.be/DpbP1H1z0-0 the Wobble has been there for a while but considering i have to drive cross country next month, i want it gone before then. Dont notice it at lower speeds, already had a shop look at the braking system and call it good but shortly after this video was taken the brake and abs light came on. |

Looks like warped rotors to me. I had a Beretta that rotors would warp the rotors in about 2 years time. The wheel would begin shaking slightly and progressively get worse. New rotors would bring it back to normal. |

Theres no pulse int he brake pedal and the brakes and rotors were inspected by a shop the day prior and ok'd, the front rotors how ever are slotted/drilled so i dunno if that played in to complications with the shop inspecting them. |

Rotors are out of specs! Only sure way to test is to put rotor on a brake lathe and check for being out of true. Some shops do this on the vehicle nowadays without having to remove them from the vehicle... Just looking at or visual inspection of them will not tell if they are true or not!!!!  If you have them turned or resurfaced, be sure and install new quality brake pads...  Being slotted and / or cross drilled are good things to help dissipate brake pad heat more quickly!!! |

do you think bad engine mounts could also be causing my steering problem while braking? viewtopic.php?f=5&t=85620 |

So the brake and ABS light was just my rear abs/wheel speed sensor. this is the third one to go bad in 2 years. Did some research and found its pretty common for the sensor connectors to oxidize, so i installed a new one with some electric gel. anyone else find a good fix to prevent this issue? Still working on replacing the front rotors to remove the steering wheel wobble when braking. |
