Can rear rotors cause a car to vibrate?
Severe warping of rotors may cause the entire frame of the car to shake. You may be able to feel this shaking not only in the brake pedal but in the steering wheel as well. (See reference 1) Shaking in the steering column may be noticeable only when you are forced to stop quickly or from high speeds.
When do you change rotors does the vibration go away?
Starts around 40/45 gets worse through about 60/65, then starts to mellow out, although it doesn’t fully go away. No pulsation or vibration when braking. Since then, I have had the wheels balanced, replaced bad control arm bushings and still have the vibration. Went in today and cleaned the wheel mating surface on the rotor hat.
Why do I get vibration when I brake?
No pulsation or vibration when braking. Since then, I have had the wheels balanced, replaced bad control arm bushings and still have the vibration. Went in today and cleaned the wheel mating surface on the rotor hat. Made no difference. At this point, I am thinking I have a rotor that is not balanced.
When does the vibration in the steering wheel go away?
The next day, about halfway to work, I had a steering wheel vibration. Not when braking, just when driving. Starts around 40/45 gets worse through about 60/65, then starts to mellow out, although it doesn’t fully go away. No pulsation or vibration when braking.
Why does your car vibrate when you apply the reverse?
Your car vibrates when you engage the reverse gear, making you wonder what the problem is. Obviously, there’s a problem somewhere. The question is: where is the problem from?

Are there any vibrations in rear wheel drive?
Rear end vibrations are even more difficult to track down than FWD vibrations. It’s very difficult to find the source of a driveline vibration in a rear wheel drive vehicle. As with FWD vehicles, make sure your tires and tire balance are good before you look to the driveline.
