triniosito Reg'd: Nov 15, 2006 Godlike Advisor	So heres the situation if im going 50 and i gotta slow down pretty fast my steering wheel starts to shake left to right....kinda like vibrating....so im thinking it might be my new tires i just had installed a few weeks ago probably need to be rebalanced or it might be an alignment issue....any and all sugestions are welcome...thanks

Spitfire Reg'd: Jul 02, 2008 Master Mechanic	an allignment problem could also cause this. happened to my jeep slowin down to 55mph, i would vibrate right off the road... -wayne 08' BRM tC A monkey in a suit is still just a monkey...

O5_TRD_tC Reg'd: May 16, 2008 Vehicle Designer	most likely your tires were not balanced correctly. The 4 LED_Headz: Ed (etli), Trung (SquallLHeart), Alan (O5_TRD_tC), and Paul (Dakine)

Web Reg'd: Apr 17, 2006 THE SHADOW	Alignment would cause vibration, more of a constant pull. Balance issues would cause vibrations but if it's been a few weeks, then it's odd that it would just start now (depending on how much you've driven too). Check your brakes as well b/c if it's ONLY when you brake, your rotors may be warped. I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. A.E.

brianc500 Reg'd: May 19, 2007 Master Mechanic	If you only have the vibration when braking, than it's more likely to be warped roters like Web suggested. A balance issue will usually be more consistant and may go away at some speeds. "Losing is often a temporary condition, giving up makes it permanent."

xcessivenoize Reg'd: Apr 15, 2008 Master Mechanic	^x2 with web and brian vibration under braking is caused by warped rotors. to fix this you need new front rotors and pads.

krdshrk Reg'd: Sep 29, 2007 Godlike Advisor	I'd say warped rotors too Scikotics NJ is sponsored by Lawrence Scion 2006 GReddy Turbocharged Automatic tC 220+ WHP - 14.044 @ 97.02 MPH

andino Reg'd: Mar 05, 2006 Godlike Advisor	I had this same problem when my wheels weren't balanced correctly. Is it a violent shake of wheel or just a little vibration? Are you in SoCal? Come to our CStC meets! Located in Socal? Need something Installed? Have a question and no one is willing to help? Shoot me a PM or hit me up on AIM.

krdshrk Reg'd: Sep 29, 2007 Godlike Advisor	Did it only happen during braking though? Because only during braking = warped rotors. Scikotics NJ is sponsored by Lawrence Scion 2006 GReddy Turbocharged Automatic tC 220+ WHP - 14.044 @ 97.02 MPH

VIP_tC08 Reg'd: Dec 02, 2007 Godlike Advisor	Check the lower ball joints on the front-end. You will find that they could be loose and the cause of your vibration problem '08 // Flint Mica // tC
