Suspension / Brake Problem

So I was going on NJ Parkway North around exit 105. I was going around 65 all of a sudden a HUGE deer jumps out and I slam on the brakes (the wheels lock) and I swerve around the deer. I pull off the to the side of the road and check my car, I narrowly missed the deer. So I accelerate back onto the road but something is different. The wheel is shaking, not heavily but it shakes when I get to around 50 MPH. It feels different too. I dont really know what it is. I was wondering if anybody has had the same problem from braking extremely hard. Thanks alot for the help.


Its a 2001 Civic LX Couple.

well its possible that ur tires got messed up from that hard braking.. did you skid? if you did it mightve caused the tire to have worn out unevenly at one certain area...

but just get it checked out .. might've also messed up ur alignment

Yeah, no ABS. I am going to get a friend to help me out so I can jack up my car and check the tires and brakes. I havent had time lately. Probally today I will see if the tire has a flat spot. I really hope so. :-/

along with your tires, you may have wraped your rotors. But since you probably weren't slamming on the breaks before hand, you they should be okay. But I'm gonna say flat spot on the tires too.
