Shaky Wheel
Whats up guys. I was wondering if you can tell me what it means when my steering wheel starts to shake at speeds around sixty and higher but only when i try to brake, mostly on the freeway. I just got an alignment done so im not to sure what it could be.
Thanks
Thanks

What is the mileage of your brakes? First of all I would check whether you have any pad life left.
Did you had any hard braking episode in the recent past? Sometimes the shakines may be caused by the uneven pad deposits on the rotor. This can be dealt with by temporariry mounting-on the abrasive race pads.

Correct.
Either replace or resurface rotors.
Replacing is a better idea and is usually around the same price, unless you have brembos.
Stoptech makes some very affordable and very nice replacement rotors. I would check out their website, or contact the guys at performance nissan parts.

I had no idea you could get it done that cheap.
