Vibration when braking?

Hello,

Steering wheel and chassis vibrations could be caused by various factors.

Tires Are Out of Balance:
When your tires are out of balance, you will likely experience vibrations when you are driving between about 50 to 60 MPH, but they will smooth out as you drive faster. This problem can happen if the tires are in bad shape from wear or if they have developed flat spots from lack of use. Re-balancing or replacing your tires may improve or eliminate the problem.

A less common, though still possible reason for the vibrations, is that the air pressure in your tires is low, which can easily be remedied by inflating the tires to the proper pressure.

Brakes Are Warped:

If you experience steering wheel vibration when you brake while driving at higher speeds, then it's possible that your brake rotors are warped. Warping happens for a variety of reasons, including running through cold water with overheated brakes and over-torquing the lug nuts.

The problem can also be caused by a stuck caliper and excessive brake pad residue. It only takes a small amount of warping to make the steering wheel noticeably vibrate while braking. Most of the time, turning or replacing the rotor as well as replacing the stuck caliper will solve the problem.

Inspect the lower control arm bushings for possible wear/excessive movement
