    Shaking while braking

    Sometimes when I brake, the steering wheel starts to shake rather violently. Not only during hard breaking, it even happens during normal breaking to come to a stop at a traffic light. It's kind of embarassing when theres a girl in the car and when u go to stop your whole arm is shaking around. Anyone know the solution to this? It doesn't happen every time though, I would say about 1/3 of the time. If it helps, I have a 93 Accord EX.

    1. new brake pads
    2. rotors need turned
    3. tires need balanced and proper air psi
    4. may need new tires

      other possibilities are drive shafts or your suspension components. Most likely your rotors are warped. Try some top notch rotors next time instead of getting em spun

        you probably need to resurface your rotors.

          in most cases resurfacing rotors is only a bandaid solution. Judging by the labour costs involved with a front end brake job on our cars, its best to replace the rotors with something good rather than bottom line garbage.
