I have a 93 Toyota Camry, just had a timing belt replaced a week ago. Seems like since I've got the car back when I brake at high speeds, it vibrates. I did a complete brake job, new rotors and pads, still vibrates. 6 months ago I had both axles and CV joints replaced. What should I look for, what's wrong with my car?

check the bolts on the rotors. that started happening to me and the bolts were loose. make sure they are the right size and everything. if you used the old ones, replace them its never good to reuse bolts.

The brake rotors are warped. they're frequently became for about $15 in accordance to rotor, or replaced for drastically extra. the front rotors on disk brake automobiles are to blame for about 80% of braking. i'd commence with asking a save to teach the front rotors in ordinary words and also you'll locate the vibration will be gone. For now, do not worry about the rears(they're probably drum brakes besides, not particular on a ninety 3 LeSabre). Be careful of someone attempting to promote you a brake interest. they're frequently extremely expensive and this is between the finest activities on any motorized vehicle. i wish this works out for you. good success.

Have a technician measure with a micrometer eight or nine places around the front rotors. Excessive rotor thickness variations of .004mm or more cause steering wheel to shimmy when stopping even new rotors!. You did not say steering. Does the vibration seem to be from the floor down low when stopping from 70 or so? your back brake rotors could be warped.

Brake rotor pulsation is caused by excessive lateral runout of the brake rotor, not thickness variation. If the wheels were over-torqued, that will distort the rotor. Retorque the wheels using the correct pattern and torque spec to see if it makes a difference. If not, have someone machine the rotors.

The rotors are warped, and if and when you had your last brake job done, they probably didn't even resurface the rotors. Hence that will cause your current situation. If they are not able to be resurfaced, then you'd had have to get new rotors. Hope that helps.

There is probably nothing wrong with your car. ABS (Automatic Braking Systems) systems have a "pulsing" mechanism that will create a vibrating sensation when applied with force or a high speeds. This is good. The ABS system will keep you from skidding. However, your mechanic should check it out just in case.

still sounds like warped rotors, are your sure you didn't over torque the rotors when you installed them?
I would check all 4 tires VERY carefully look for bubbles and uneven tread wear!

I'd say bent wheel. The small wheels on imports dent easily. You replaced the brakes and you might have rotated a rear wheel to the front. A dented wheel on the front is much more noticeable on the front while braking than when it is on the rear.

check for rust between rotor and hub or maybe a bent hub.....
