Wiggle under heavy braking ? ?
Wiggle under heavy braking ? ?
I was on the interstate this weekend, and a huge slowdown started. I braked heavily and it seemed like traffic was moving again, and then everybody just came to a complete stop. I gave the brakes a pretty good press to stop pretty quickly, and i felt what i would describe as a wiggle from the rear end. This is the first car i've had with ABS, i was wondering if this was normal or if this was something that i need to get checked out while i'm still under warranty. Thanks, and sorry if this is an old topic.

From what you have described, contrary to other posts here, I would say sounds like rotor issues.

better safe than sorry, right?
