Braking from about 50-60 and downward can result in vibrations if the thrust rod (i.e. upper control arm/strut rod) bushings are worn. If the vibrations don't occur when braking from 20-30 and downward, then this substantiates the worn bushings possibility.
Typically, warped rotors will also be accompanied by a little bit of pedal feedback. Are you getting this at all?


Jason F.

if it's only vibrating while braking your rotors are warped. Stiffer shock might have made you feel this more! Also, when they did the shocks, they may have put the wheel on with an impact wrench, and over-torqued the wheels, which will also warp the rotors (supposedly!).

Just changed the set of shocks and after started experiencing vibration whenever I'm braking. Its worse on the front right side wheel.

I've had the tie rods and the arms checked and all seems okay.

its really spoiling my fun while driving.

Any suggestions.

Pls. where is the VIN located.
