steering wheel shakes after 80mph
steering wheel shakes after 80mph
Went to get new front pads and resurfaced the rotors, but it still does the same problem. Heard warped rotors might cause it but i got them resurfaced. What else can it be? Also my front brakes still make the wining sound. I'm guessing that pads need to be broken in but that was last week. thanks for the info

Tires squared off?
try this simple test. Raise both front wheels. Start car, engage gears, watch the edges of the spinning wheels: should be even. I had once "bouncing" edges that prompted me to replace tires. Were 75% worn anyway back then.

I have New Rotors & Pads (less than 1k miles)
I just had to get one of my tires patched though.
I have new SS Brake lines (Not sure if that matters)
Tires have about 5-6k miles on them.

Discount Tire will balance your tires properly for 50 bucks by counterbalancing the tire to the wheel. They do this by measuring the 'road force' for each wheel and minimizing the 'out of balance' by spinning the tire on the rim to it's 'sweet spot'. I had this done immediately after buying my max, and actually found out one of the new Conti tires were defective. The car shook horribly from 60 mph upward; now smooth as a baby's butt.
