Steering wheels vibrates

FABIAN128I · 06-20-2013, 08:22 PM

My steering wheel has been vibrating when I go to step on the brakes not sure why, but I recently got new brakes in the front , not sure what the problem . All installations were done with OEM parts, and by the dealer.

Bad pad seat, bad lube job, warped rotors, jammed caliper. Any or all of the above.

Any noises?

Or none of the above? The first two aren't going to cause pulsing by themselves.

Warped rotors are largely a myth. It's generally uneven pad deposits.

OP, try to re-bed the pads.

www.stoptech.com has a good faq that should aid you.

Rotors can warp under high jeat, though I've more often see them just crack. On the other hand they are new and possibly just a bad part. No noise points away from pad or calipers being the cause.

Also a bad deposit from improper bedding should also result in noisy brakes. Though I agree with Apex that its easy enough to rule out. Do a proper bed in cycle and see if that fixes the vibrations.

Otherwise I wouldn't muck about too much, the work is guaranteed, take it back and make them redo the job.
