Just got my alignment and balance done a few weeks back. Steering wheel was shaken before I got this done.. after balancing it helped a lot but I still feel it a little bit..

Also,

When braking steering wheels shakes a bit then it stops... could it be the pads? warped rotors? any ideas help is greatly appreciated.

Do I really need to replace the rotors?.. is that goign to stop the shaking?


Thanks all

Was your steering wheel shaking under normal driving or under braking? If it's under driving, you need to get your wheels rebalanced. Since they just did them, it could be that maybe a wheel is bent or warped and you cant actually notice it. If your wheel is vibrating while you are braking, it is likely your rotors.

it was shaking under normal driving but after balancing its stop but last nigth i hit lik e80-90 and i felt it a bit again.. not as much.. and when I hit the brakes it shakes a lot more and then it stops.

tension rod bushings and realign again, given wheels/bal are in perfect order.

i found a pair of rotors of a fanatic here.. should I even buy them?? will that help at all?

Its a last case senario, have the rotors mic'd out for warpness. How are your tires? sometimes internal belt separation will cause vibration after being balancing.

tires are in good condition....
right now what i feel the most is when i start braking... thats when the steering wheel shakes a lot

Yes the slop in the bushings will be amplified if the rotors are warped (during braking). Have them both checked out.

sent you pm.. thanks for your help.

is the bushings a costly job?.. I came across a crazy deal for rotors.. i would hate to replace the rotors if you think it wont do much to the shaking Im currently experiencing.. u sound like you know your stuff.. so im listening to you hahahah

The rotors are most likely the reason for shaking under braking. I just replaced my rotors since they were nearly worn out and vibrating a bit. The new ones took care of all the problems
