shaking steering wheel

[race-stang]

brakes were bad, and i had some vibration in the steering wheel when slowing down. I thought it was warped rotors, but after the new pads and rotors were put on, (SSBC Sloted rotor kit) the steering wheel still shakes when slowing down under heavy braking. is it time for new steering rack bushings???? I am going to be lowering the car soon on Eibach Sportlines, so should I go with the offset ones if it is the cause of my problem.

For reference, my car is a 98 gt with 90,000 miles on it.

Thanks for the input

I have a 98GT with 90k on it, and I have the same prob, only when slowing down.

No vibration other thatn heavy braking?

 

[race-stang]

yea. maybe its just cause one pf my wheels is a little bent. idk though

 

[COramprat]

What brand rotor did you get?

Never mind...I see SSBC? Not sure who that is.

Are you sure it's not just due to an alignment or lugnuts that aren't evenly torqued? Check the simple stuff. =)

yea I need an alignment and mine does the exact same thing!

 

[race-stang]

everything is cool. could it be worn out bushings????

i had the same problem then i did the mods in my sig and it went away. sometimes i have seen bad wheel/hub bearings cause this, not on mustangs though.

If your alignment is off and the wheels are unevenly worn, it will still vibrate through the steering wheel. I have a small vibration too.

Are you sure ur hand isnt just shaking?

 

[race-stang]

check your front hubs.. it is also possible for the new rotors to be warped. I have run into that a couple of times before, one time we had a bad shipment of motorcraft taurus front rotors and we had about 10 brake jobs come back before we realized that we got some junk rotors.
