i recently put on 17in rims w/ falken azenis sports.......every time i go into a stop my brake pedal along with the car viberates a bit at 10mph to 0mph. could it be my brakes? i had to change my passenger side wheel studs because i rounded it off when i installed the rims. Could it be the tires? or is it the brakes? i would put stockers back on but i sold those off. any advice or help is greatly appreciated! GO I-Club!

 

the rims and tires wont cause a vibration like that unless they are not balanced....but then it would happen all the time.....sounds like the brakes to me.....did YOU replace the studs, or did you take it to a shop? Make sure your calipers are nice and tight, and your rotors are seated properly, and rotate freely and are aligned with the calipers. Also, when you put your wheels back on, make sure you tighten the lugs down evenly in a "star" pattern, to make sure the wheels are going on straight.

thats all I can think of atm.

good luck

thanks for the info but i checked the brake pads and they seemed fine... they were still pretty thick. i re installed the wheels in the star pattern and i test drove the car and that damn vibration is still there...i m gona try to get those tires balanced to see of that will work.
