Bumpy Braking

[mobius120487]

Hey yall, got a quick question that maybe someone can shed some light on. I think its just really worn down tires cuz i really really need new ones, but around 55 it is a lil bumpy but nothing bad if i accelerate it goes away, and when i brake from a high speed....around 70ish, it is quite a bumpy ride, have to make sure i'm holding the steering wheel firmly. Also, i know i'm gonna need new brake pads sometime soon....anything else i should be leery of? 104k miles on car.....

I have an 06 with 109k so we are kinda in the same boat. I am in the process of replacing the front and rear pads and of course I had the rotors resurfaced, because of a bit of noise/vibration. Anyway when I took my rear wheels off I noticed that my right rear tire tread is cupped, my semi-trained mind tells me I need new shocks on the rear as I believe that they are still stock. So I would be leary of the shocks/struts. Good luck.

Have you had anyone qualified look at your car? Most brake places will check them out for free. It sounds like your rotors are warped.

Thats what i was thinking....damn it all.....i'll go have em checked out

If it is not the brakes have them check your wheels to make sure they are balanced correctly. Off-balance wheels might also cause some shaking at higher speeds and so would a bad alignment.
