Vibration when braking hard?
Hi All,
Just asking if anyone experienced any vibration of the car under hard braking in a straight line? The rear end feels like it vibrates a lot, almost wobbling. What could cause this? Could my brakes be faulty or warpped? I've only driven my car to and from work and done a few cruises, didn't think I was giving my brakes such a hard time.

Gomez, will check the wheel nuts, but I haven't touched them since I've got the car.
Sco, doen't feel like ABS, it is more a vibration side ways. It was just a long straight road. And there was a bit of vibration right from the steering as well, as in pulling left and right.

Hmm... not good... might be time to visit the dealer.
Could be anything from suspension problems to loose wheel nuts. Only other thing that springs to mind is tramlining due to a really bad road.

Maybe a balancing or wheels allignment should fix it
Unless your disc brake is stuffed and need to be resurface.
It happen on my Nissan Patrol, and they have to resurface the disc brake.
This usually happen from Braking Too hard when the Disc brake is Hot. When the Disc Brake is Hot the Metal tend to Weaken therefore easy to bent or change shape.
Maybe someone might correct me if i'm wrong.
Cheers
