bradleyheathhays Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I've got an '02 Ford Taurus with 99k miles that's got something loose in the front end but I'm not entirely sure what it is. When under moderate to hard braking there's a quick shaking in the front of the car and the steering wheel jerks in sync with the shaking. Jacked up one front wheel, left the other on the ground, and sure enough the wheel moves when pushed at 3 and 9 o'clock, but not at 12 and 6. Any advice on where to go from here?

fordtech1 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 If it only happens when braking, the rotors are warped. Have the rotors resurfaced or replaced depending if they are thick enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

road turtle Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 just replace the rotor and be done. When coming to a hard stop, if at all possible, roll the car forward a bit and put it in neutral. That heat soaking of leaving brakes pressed warps the poor quality material they put into today's vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
