Phalanx Neutral Newbie July 26, 2004 Share July 26, 2004 If a car's steering wheel shudders a bit when you step on the brakes when travelling high speed, does it imply that the front brake disc rotors are warped or could it be something else? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear July 26, 2004 Share July 26, 2004 Either they are warped or the wheels are out of alignment. Check both as they are easily rectified. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkaneslayer Neutral Newbie July 26, 2004 Share July 26, 2004 i had this problem once but it went away after awhile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King 1st Gear July 27, 2004 Share July 27, 2004 for me is my front rotor warp... i change disc,then is ok Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_t Neutral Newbie July 27, 2004 Share July 27, 2004 for me it was the left rotor that was warped. I changed both rotors and pads. Problem went away after that. if the problem persists, then maybe check your steering column...might be worn out or loose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx Neutral Newbie July 27, 2004 Author Share July 27, 2004 I'm beginning to suspect that the rotors might be at fault. Wouldn't skimming the rotors help? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yttrium Neutral Newbie July 27, 2004 Share July 27, 2004 It would if your rotors aren't too worn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx Neutral Newbie July 27, 2004 Author Share July 27, 2004 Woooo...let's hope it's just the rotors and not the wheel hub damaged. But if the hub is damaged, wouldn't it shudder regardless of whether I brake or not? Hmm... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeobh 4th Gear July 27, 2004 Share July 27, 2004 The cause can be caused by different in built-up braking forces between the left and right wheel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppe Clutched July 28, 2004 Share July 28, 2004 i also think it's yr rotor acting up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtim 3rd Gear July 28, 2004 Share July 28, 2004 (edited) if it's mild damage, only when braking from speed to slow down then you'll feel it, happens to my previous Alfa 33 16v, hit a pot hole at around 140kmh, but the drive is still ok, only have wheel shuddler when braking from 100kmh & above, change the rotor still the same, then the mech decided to jack up the front without the wheels & engage 2nd gear, can see the wheel hub warbling Edited July 28, 2004 by Vtim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
