Default Now it sounds like my brakes are going to fall off.

On my 2000 Camaro SS when I stop everything shakes and then it sounds like my entire brake system is just going to fall off the car. It starts to clang and cling really bad and it knocks slower and I get closer to 0mph. It only does this when I stop and I had the pads and rotors replaced a few months back. When I first took it in to the shop my car used to pulseate if I pushed the brakes down to fast and it still did that after new pads and rotors. I took it to a good shop and I told them about it and they didn't see anything wrong besides my pads and rotors were gone.

Hmm well it sounds like it coming from the front. It also makes a sound that is about the same when I go over speed bumps.

In my case it was a tie-rod end. I tried to stop at 90 or something, and the whole front of the car started jerking around. I actually thought I might wreck at the time, scared the **** outta me.

It all started way back when I hit a speed bump going like 45. I must have busted something and it has just been getting worse.
