Hey everyone,

Yesterday, when I was driving home from MT Snow VT, doing 55 mph or so, I stepped on the brake a little, and the car shook, or shimmied? The steering wheel also shook slightly left to right. It only did that for a bit, and later it seemed to go away. Any ideas on what is wrong? Thanks for ALL of the help.

-Mike

Could be alignment,bad wheel balance more likely,if you haven't warped the rotors.Could also just be dirt in a wheel affecting things...take a look.
