Wierd Vibration feeling

Hi everyone-

I know I should be posting this on another forum, but I have not gotten any help on the other forums. I used to own a expy. and I know that this site is hands down the best and diagnoising and fixing problems.

I have a SUV that when braking from a high speed (ie. 55mph) the steering wheel begans to vibrate and then the whole front end gets the feeling of vibration. Is this a sign of bad brakes, rotors or alignment? Thanks in advance for any help.

you need your rotors machined or replace if they are below spec

Thanks for the info. Any idea about how much I should be paying for this type of work? just wonder before I take it to the shop. Thanks again.

if you have an 03-04 ford expedition.......then you can join the rest of us with the same issues on the "front end steering vibrations/shimmy" however you should also start complaining to your ford dealer as well.

He obviously does not own an Expy or Ford but some other brand of 4X4.

All he needs is to get the rotors turned and new pads.

Depending on whether a dealer does it ofr a tire shop could be a big difference in price.
