Steering wheel shaking when coming to a stop?
Heh yea not sure what's going on. My wheel balancing is fine. It happens when I am going over 40mph I have noticed that front and rear brakes have began to Squeak. Should I be concerned about engine mounts? I am going to take her in this week but wanted to see what I should be expecting to deal with. Car is an 05 Wrx (60k) sitting on CoBB springs and on 18's 225's Rota Formula Meshes.

Possibly warped rotors comes to mind.

Happened to me in my SUV. Had the rotors turned and slapped on a new set of pads and everything was golden.

Your rotors are not warped. Most likely that is not the case and never will be. You need to either change your rotors and pads, or have your rotors resurfaced for uneven pad displacement.


Also Im pretty sure you didn't search first.

yeah thats pretty much a game of semantics.

You can't just turn your rotors if there isn't enough left on them so may not help.

Lol your right on the search, but our forum is so dead these days I figured we could use the activity.

If you are running inexpensive rotors, then I suggest to just get new ones. And MAKE SURE you bed and mate the pad to the rotor surface properly so it will either take longer for this to reoccur, or never to occur again, Unless you are running the life out of your brakes. Ive seen cracked rotors without wheel shaking symptoms. You can't just put on new pads/rotors and go thinking that they will be fine.
