Hey all,
I have a super high mileage 04 wagon with problematic front brakes.
The rotors warp and cause severe shaking at just about any speed.
I have done many brake jobs, not just on this car, and because of the same problems prior to doing them last, i was extra cautious to follow all the guidelines to prevent warping, and made sure I:
Properly lubing and seating the caliper slides
Properly torquing the lug nuts
Using good quality rotors and pads from power stop.
No luck- they have about 15K on them and they shake and shutter like Elvis.
I think someone suggested i check the rear axle bushings? Is that the next step?
My brother yesterday pointed out the back wheels are slanted out (from top to bottom). Not sure if that’s another indicator of bad bushings?
Could something in the rear be causing all the shaking up front?
Any help is much appreciated
