Brakes problem?

[Z32man]

Ever since i had my car, while driving at speeds higher than 45 MPH when i brake, often times the steering wheel shakes. This does not happen every time. I researched this and i only found people talking about rotors being warped but i put different rotors on and it does the very same thing. What would be the problem?

your different front rotors are likely warped as well?

Usually steering wheel shaking is warped rotors or unbalanced tires. Get a new set of regular rotors and try them out. How new are your tires?

the rotors i put on are new. my tires are somewhat new as well.

Tire shake is usually reported at a specific speed, rotor warp is a steering wheel shake when brakes are applied +50mph and goes away when brakes are released.

It is possible to get warped rotors new, if a magnetic base dial indicator is unavailable the next best way is remove the wheel, reinstall all the lugs and rotate evenly by hand and or rotating rapidly and seeing if it stops in the same spot, if you find a issue get a magic marker, mark 1 stud (and the rotor) then remove the caliper/lug nuts to clock the rotor on each lug (yes do this procedure 5 times per front wheel)

Draw notes on each position to find the happiest spot and to keep track of your previous attempts, use your eyeball between the brake pad and rotor if you are unsure.

I do this with a dial indicator, your results will vary depending on practice and personal precision.

Tightening in the wrong order and overtightening lug nuts can also warp rotors very quickly.
Bad tie rod ends can also cause the shaking problem but it seems the shake would be at lower speeds if this was the case.

How does the tension rods/bushings look? Are they stock?, if so they might be leaking.

This is exactly what I as thinking.
