Car Shakes When Braking
Just had a question,
I've only had my car a year and I do not think the brake rotors are warped as everyone is probably going to say.
My car shakes when braking, the harder I brake the worse it is, especially coming down from high speeds. It seems to have been getting worse lately. I hit a huge pothole in the rain one night a few months ago, and it doesn't seem to be riding the same since then.
Anybody have any ideas on what it could be?? I was thinking (or hoping) just a bent wheel.

If it is a bent wheel, it would bounce while driving. Notice a rough ride when you push the car up to about 80? If not, it's not a bent wheel.
You could have alot of pad build up on the rotor that's causing uneven braking. Try re-bedding the brakes again. Get all that build up smoothed out and lay a nice new film down.
