2002 Buick Century. When I brake the steering wheel shakes. New Rotors, new brakes, new right side hub. New tires,
What is your question?
The Buick steering wheel shakes when I brake. Only when I brake. Replaced left side rotor because of hot spots. Viberation almost stopped but not completely. So I replace the right side rotor . Replaced brakes at the same time. Car has 100,000 miles on it. Checked the tie rod ends and half shafts for play. Everything looks and feels good. Replaced rear brakes as well. No noises or leaks. Car is as new. Runs perfect and shifts perfectly. No noise or sounds when turning or stopping. No noise or sounds when I apply the brakes. It just has this gentle vibration in the wheel. Replaced the right side Hub bearing also.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Nothing it is always the same. Hot or cold
How long has your 2002 Buick Century had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2002 Buick Century. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
It's still related to those brake rotors. Brake rotors are the only thing that will cause vibration only when braking. Even "new" rotors can have a runout concern off the shelf, depending on their quality and how they've been stored over the years since manufacturing.
Suggest finding a shop with an on-car brake lathe that can machine the rotors finely to remove the vibration.
