And of course when i brake at that speed I feel even more vibration.
Bought the car with these wheels and some tires that were almost bald. put on new tires and could tell the brakes needed to be replaced in the front due to a little vibration at any speed and I was told by the original owner she never replaced them and i bought it at 60k miles. After I replaced the front pads with EBC red stuff (i've used EBC before never had any issues) and had the front rotors turned. After i drove the car a little i noticed the high speed vibration. drove like that for 10k miles because i had another vehicle and i was lazy  . decided I thought the rotors were warped and i bought new EBC slotted rotors with a new set of red stuff pads. put it all together and the vibration is still there. Today i swapped the front tires with the rear (no name korean brand front tires with the hankooks in the rear) and vibration is still there. The tire guy swears its the rotors and pads, and i need to go back to stock. OR that i need a hub ring as there is plenty of movement from the rim when the car is lifted and the lugs are not torqued down... Anyone else run into this problem with aftermarket pads or rotors???  |
I literally just went through this...I had BOTH a blown out front strut AND bad Strut mount. When my mechanic put the Camaro on the alignment and lifted it, the passenger wheel dropped waaaay too fast. I got new front struts and mounts and the brake vibration is gone. The steering wheel vibration almost went away. it is so so slight now. But, I just got new tires put on today, the old ones wore out weird, mechanic said most likely due to blown mount and strut. Ill drive it tomorrow and let you know if vibration is completely gone. Message me if I forget to let you know.
