  • noise when braking

    any ideas? it's not quite a rattle or knock, more like a shake?
    doesn't seem to be too big a deal, just wondering in case something big is wrong.

    This probably belongs in the handling forum.

    A while back (may-July 00) we had a big discussion over there concerning disc brake warpage. You might can search for it.

    My braking wobble went away when I changed tires - so I assume mine was more a tire issue than a braking issue. However, many firebirds and camaros end up warping their rotors before 15,000 miles - you might just want to have them resurfaced so long that they're not squealing or chirping any. If its a groaning - its more of a pad misalignment or poor pad compound than anything.

      yes, that's the sound, wobble!
      maybe it is a tire issue, i'll be changing those soon anyway (looks like only a few 1000mi left on them)
      thanks for the help

        If your car shakes when you hit the brakes, it's a good chance your rotors are bad.
