When I'm going above 55 or so and I apply the brakes, the car seems to shake... the pedal shakes and the steering wheel shakes. Lower speeds, it's just fine. What could that be?

When you press the brakes, they rub on your rotors/rear drums. The friction wears down the brake pads as well as the rotors/drums. Eventually, the spots that arent rubbed by anything wont be worn down and they will form a lip around where the brake pad does press. You need to get rid of this lip by shaving off the rest of the rotor to wear it all down to the same surface or get new rotors.
Take the rotors to an auto shop and get your brake rotors milled or go to autozone and replace them. Getting them turned will cost you about $20 per rotor. Autozone will charge about $40-$50 per rotor new. |
