Car shakes when braking

[The1hiphop]

When I hit about 45 MPH and I brake the car shakes realy bad . Someone told me that it is my roters please HELP

well whoever told you its your rotors is right. It shouldn't really matter what speed your at, your car will shake when you need to replace your rotors.

A brake job is easy, while your at it, buy a set of brake pads to go with your rotors. Total in parts will be about $150-190 (rough). Better than paying an arm and a leg to have a shop do it. Good luck.

it might also be that you need an alignment my moms van does that too

I doubt it's alignment, shaking under normal driving conditions 60+MPH or pulling to one side or the other without braking sure.

Shaking while braking, definitely rotors.

its probably the rotors but it could be your halfshafts/cv joints

You probably don't need to replace them. I just had mine turned and the problem went away.

Definitely sounds like you have some warped rotors. I would replace them rather than taking them to a machine shop and having them turned. I've found that it's pretty easy to warp rotors on our cars. Mitsu should have used bigger rotors. I should probably slow the **** down too.

Yeah, rotors dude. And you can get the parts for less then that, depends on how good of ones you want.

On the non turbo, I did front rotors and pads, and rear pads for about $80 total parts. I bought the cheapo stuff cause the car is a beater. They work really good too.

But if you like this car, and wanna keep it, you might wanna spend a little more on some brembo parts.
