Rubbing and vibration issue when turning after brake change
Rubbing and vibration issue when turning after brake change
I was wondering if anyone has run into this issue. Car is an 04 6mt with stock brembos. Recently had brake pads changed.
So now when I'm turning at freeway speeds on the interchange ramps, I'll get a vibration in the car like something is rubbing. Sometimes the slip light goes off, sometimes it doesn't. But when my slip light normally goes off, like when I accelerate too hard, it quietly brakes, as it is supposed to. It slows the car down and my first though is that tire is rubbing against something, but I cant find any evidence on the tires that it was rubbing against something. It happens turning right or left. It is worse when the car has more people in it. When I say much worse I mean the rubbing sound happens very easily at lower speeds, as opposed to when I'm in the car alone its doesnt do it as often.
Did a sensor get knocked around on the brake change? Alignment problem? I also got the rear tires changed, but not the fronts, and the noise is coming from the front of the car. The tire shop did say My tire pressure was low in front, so they added more air up in front. Could any of these be the issue?
Thanks.

Bumping this thread for an answer...
I too have a 6MT and did my own DIY front Brembo brake pad change. The thudding/shuddering only happens on high-speed curves and turning; I tried replicating the thudding at straight line braking, but couldn't.

You did replace or resurface the rotors yes? Warped rotors is typically the cause of any braking-related shudder.
If you did replace or resurface them I would start suspecting the wheel bearings.
