car shakes when I brake

DarkSideAccord · Dec 28, 2013

I replaced my mini BBK setup a couple months ago. I put back on my OEM calipers, new brembo blank rotors, and new wagner thermoquiet pads.... for some reason, the passenger side shakes a lot more when I brake... the shaking gets worse the faster I go.... any ideas? :thinking:

Are you sure that your Wheel hub is flat? did you clean it before fitting your new disk?

Mine had the same problem, but it disappeared when I've changed the disks and pads.

check all your bolts otherwise is sounds like a rotor issue

Yeah sounds like a rotor thing.

^ lol.

Sounds like a common warping symptom, but it's hard to think that it's coming from a new rotor like Brembo.

Did you put the rotor on backwards, Roy?

:lawl:

redid the passenger side yesterday... nothing looked out of place.. bolts were tight... one of the sliding pins was a lil difficult to take out, but i doubt tht would cause the shaking.... anyways, i cleaned it out and regreased it... slides in and out smoother now... haven't driven on the freeway yet, but feel ok on the streets
