Alright i have a 1992 4 dr teg (yea.....4 drs suck) Anyways, it vibrates pretty bad when you get on the brakes. Now it was doing this a while back, my wife was driving it and the front driver side tire locked completely up going down the road (she wasnt on the brakes when it happened). Well i bled the breaks all was good. Well i went to change the brake pads and when i tried to take the wheel off, the lugs were seized up i guess because it got so hot. Well i broke 2 trying to get them off. So i went to take the whole hub off to take it to someone to get the lug studs put back in. Well my wifes uncle decided to work on it one day while i was gone. Most older cars you can pop the lug studs in without much problem and he thought the teg was the same way. But you have to put it on a press and all that shit......... So i come home to him beating the hell out of the wheel assembly tryin to get it to seperate so he could get the stud in. I then let him know you have to take it to someone to get it put on a machine. Anyways i took it to someone they put the studs in, repacked the wheel bearing and said everything was ok. So i figured nothing was harmed. So i put it back on and it still vibrated. So i got a new rotor. Still vibrated. So i got a new capiler, STILL vibrated. Then one day it just sorta stopped on its own. Well it has come back, it vibrates bad enough it makes my CD player in the car skip slowing from 55-0 or so. I'm out of ideas, can anyone help me out?

CLIFFS: Car vibrates when using brakes, i've replaced rotor, pads, caliper...etc. Wifes redneck uncle beat hell out of wheel assembly, shop said it was ok. Anything else i can try?

 

BUMP


Please anyone help, im running out of options. Any input would be appreciated!

 

does the vibration occur if you down shift hard and let the engine slow down the car instead of applying the brakes?

Also, how did the brakes look when you finally got the wheel off? Where they abnormally warn down?

 

Also does it vibrate any if you bank it hard to the right at 40+mph?

 

Sorry about bringin the old thread back, still having issues.

Well its an automatic, BUT i have learned if you pull it down into 3rd when your slowing down (yea i know its not good for it) it doesn't vebrate AS much. And the brakes looked ok from what i could tell about them, but i replaced everything just to be on the safe side.

And Nope it doesnt vibrate going down the road.

 

maybe check all the ball joints to make sure there is no play in them. my friends accord was having a similar problem from a bad tie rod ball joint. With the tire off the ground there shouldn't really be any play in the wheel except from the slack in the steering rack.

 

I can jack it up and it doesnt really have any plat at all. The tie-rod end has been replaced and properly adjusted.
