Default Tire balancing and tire vibration.

I agree with getting your tires balanced. I took the car into Discount tires and saw that my front 285's were out of balance so bad that the inside front left tire tread was almost gone.....and the front right tire outside tread was worn. I got 2 new front tires.....got balanced and the brakes don't vibrate as near as much. They still vibrate a little when going downhill.....but I assume it is because my rotors are a little warped from the tires being out of balance for so long.

Wheels balanced and still vibrates when BRAKING!!!!! Could the calipers be bad or ABS? What now? I've never bled the lines since I've owned it.

I had somethign similar and once i had a friend with a tech 2 do the abs pump bleed and then do a normal bleed during that time. After that i lost the vibration i was having in the vehicle.

worth a try.

Does it vibrate when braking/going downhill.....or all of the time? Also, have you checked the rotors to see if they are warped at all?

Only vibrates when I brake.

Changed the rotors and pads so it might be calipers or abs? Takes the fun out driving the car lately.

That sucks. I would also make sure that you check your brand of tires out. when I changed the original OEM's to cheaper tires (Falken) they were a nightmare to keep in balance.....and brake vibration was coming and going.
