Default Vibration Fixed!

A week or two ago I posted looking for info on a vibration that happened at freeway speeds when I stepped on the gas - no gas, no vibration. Turned out to be the passneger side driveshaft. The inner CV (the one closest to the bearing carrier) was bad and allowed the shaft to wiggle around when under power. Replaced it with a reman'ed unit and all is well again.

do you think that would have any relation to my vibration i get when i use the brake?

my pads are fine so it's either the tranny not down shifting or maybe something like your problem

any input would be apreciated

Yours sounds like Warped rotors.

Any vibration while braking is warped rotors.
Vibration in the brake pedal is the rears.
Vibration in the steering wheel is the fronts.

i'd have to dissagree, the transmission getting hung up could also cause that, which i think is my problem

Then the car would also do it coasting to a stop.

If the transmission was hanging up while stopping then the RPM's would drop below idle numbers while slowing down then would raise back up.

I agree with Tech on this one , rotors. You can get them turned ,but for 38.00 each you can get new ones from XYZ..

Agree....rotors. Also, tech is correct in diagnosing if it is the front or rear rotors. It all depepnds on what vibrates when stopping. Usually when I replace rotors, I do them as a set of four.
