Whenever I take out my car on highway and exceed 60mph, the right front starts to shake in a clocking manner when I am on the brakes. I just had my wheels aligned and that also doesn't help. The shaking only happens on right front. Thanks a lot for any help. Nishant

Hello,

First item should be checked is your tire. Make sure it is balanced and does not have any type of flat spots.
If a tire is out of balance it can vibrate at higher speed.
Have the tire balance checked as well as look for flat or uneven spot on the tires.

Also a worn control arm bushing can cause vibration.

This can also happen for having wrapped brake rotors.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.
