Steering Wheel Shake
Recently My 92 Ford Aerostar 4.0 steering wheel started to vibrate when the brakes are applied, We changed the rotors, pads and wheel bearings and the vibration continues...
Any ideas ?

I am trying to solve the same problem. I am so tired of doing this. I am putting a new rack and pinion steering in, new tie rod ends, new rotors, new steering column. If this doesn't work at least everythings new. I had lots of play in my steering wheel. The rack was leaking oil. Excessive wear on the rack where it hooks up to the steering column. It was totally rounded. What it boils down to if I still have vibrating brakes I was looking at the calipers the rubber was ripped and an actual piece of the caliper was missing. I think that is the problem. I will replace the calipers after I determine it is none of the above. My girlfriend thinks I'm a little bit crazy for doing all this work but I am. I will post when I find the problem.
check your calipers first if you dont want to spend money

OH Boy sounds like a lot of work...
I should know I replaced all that already
Not because of this problem but because it was leaking...
Do you really think it can be the calipers ??

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 27-Aug-02 AT 10:01 AM (EST)]It was the brake calipers on my van.but i put in new steering rack as well it was leaking pretty bad. all most certain it is the same for yours. what did you replace on yours? calipers are pretty cheap it worth a try if not you could take them back. hope you find your problem

Did you replace the races when you redid the bearings? I had problems with vibration of the steering wheel above 65mph. Replaced bearings, rotors, tie rod ends, etc. nothing helped -- but I just used the races that were already pressed into the new rotors, rather than pulling those and replacing them with the matched races that came with the bearings. Once new bearings/races were in the vibration was gone.
Obviously, this may have nothing to do with *your* problem, just another datapoint.
