I was wondering if anyone else gets this.... When Im braking I get a bad vibration in my steering wheel. Anyone know why?


Thanks for the help.

That my friend is a sign of *edit* warped rotors. What year is you Mazda, and have the rotors been turned previously? If they have been turned, I would go get new ones and if not, go get them turned. Most of the time that will fix your problem.

 

The other less likely problem is an out of round tire.
As others on here have heard me say before, I owned a car w/this problem and spent 2 yrs checking out brake problems (it drove me NUTS!!! ) only to have it go away when I replaced the tires that were on it.
But, as 04M3S says, the most likely cause is warped rotors. Get 'em turned first and see....

 

Thank you Richard. Helping me convince myself that I do know things about vehicles lol.

 

Just trying to offer a possible, if not improbable alternative.
I have heard it said that one in every 1 million tires produced gets past final inspection w/a flaw such as I had and described. Wouldn't you know it would be me that got that one. [&:]

 

Well atleast this is a good starting point. Thanks alot for the help and I know what Im doing this weekend. lol

 

No problem bud.

He"s Right!! And why didn"t I see that before?
That really needs to be pared down a bit there 04Mz3S.
How about something more like this:
