Car Shakes when i apply soft brake between 90-110
 

I have had this problem for a while, showed it to local meineke mechanic and he said that its possible that something is loose under the hood which is causing it.. i was just wondering if any one else have had that issue or if someone can shed some light on it as to what could it be drive shaft etc?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Sounds like you may have a warped rotor (or both).

definitely sounds like a warped brake rotor.

Prior to doing any mechanical work (ie rotor replacement), try bedding in your brakes. I suggest this as I had a similar issue with my car and after heating up the suckers and allowing to cool down, the vibration went away.

Good luck !

I do not think its a warped rotor as it was recently replaced

Its your front rotors. Dont forget to torque spec the wheels when you instal them or you will be in for another set of rotors before you know it.

Good luck.

I got those done at local mieneke.. do you think they would have done it or i need to do it myself?
