When I apply the brakes the steering wheel pulses (shakes). The brake monitor light is not lit I suspect it has something to do with the brakes. Does anyone know what could cause this and could it be repaired at a brake speciality shop ? Thank You, Melissa way2old Veteran / Moderator Apr 27, 2007, 7:48 PM Post #2 of 3 (2480 views) Re: Streeing wheel pulses (shakes) when applying brakes Sign In More than likely you need to have the brake pads replaced and have the rotors machined or replaced. If the rotors get "warped", you will feel the pulsation in the steering wheel when braking. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds scorpion1tds Novice Apr 27, 2007, 9:53 PM Post #3 of 3 (2479 views) Re: Streeing wheel pulses (shakes) when applying brakes Sign In the rotors are warped this happens on all front wheel drives unless you torque the wheels on usually about 100 lbs for steel rims and about 120 for alum measure the thickness of the rotors they may not be machineable usually new are not that much at a local jobber you can use cheap rotors with ceramic pads and this will last as long as regular pads   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
