Steering wheel shake

When I’m braking in my car the steering wheel shakes violently. I’ve tried googling what it is and all I’ve gotten was that it might be the brake components but they’ve been replaced recently

Re: Steering wheel shake

new rotors and pads? or just new pads? If it shakes when braking, sounds like a typical warped rotor situation

Re: Steering wheel shake

It got new rotors and the pads are still half way, I did some looking and it looks like it’s because the bushing in the lower control arm is shot

Re: Steering wheel shake

Do you hear any rattling/knocking/banging when going over bumps? If a control arm bushing were bad you would likely hear something.

Does the wheel shake get worse when braking or it only happens when braking? Sure sounds like warped rotors to me.

Re: Steering wheel shake

Another vote for warped rotors, I've seen them warped brand new fresh out of the box

Re: Steering wheel shake

lift car and start prodding suspension parts with a crow bar.
