Before i changed my rotors last year, my front driver side wheel used to "shake" when i was braking. My mec realized that my tie-rod end needed to be replaced, so he changed it... It's been a year now, and the wheel on the passenger side starts to shake whenever i brake pass 50 km/h... My tires are worned out and need to be replaced... but im waiting to put my springs on before i do so (+alignement)...
I feel that sometimes, my car steers a bit on the left... and a lot when braking "hard". Passenger side tire is more worned out that driver one. Last week-end i took my car to my garage and removed the front wheels and looked for some kind of freeplay in the tie rod end (passenger side). Nothing. Ball joint seems good and so are the bushings and link kit... Any ideas anyone? Could it be the worned tire? Or am i doing something wrong? -------------------- |

i doubt the tire would do that to you. If it was that bad, you would feel shakes all the time, not just during braking. If your suspension is looking good then take a close look at your rotors. Maybe they have an offset runoff or are warped. And just for fun check your mounts as well
