Another shaking steering wheel thread.

Probably one of the rotors is glazed or warped. If you still have the shake after replacing the rotors, then you may have a steering linkage problem.

yeah thats what im thinking... once i get the rotors in and install them ill let you guys know if anything has changed. im just thinking that if it was a warped rotor that by adding spacers im only going to amplfy the problem by having the wheel further out. maybe i sound stupid but its just a thought

not stupid at all. that's probably wat is happening.

cutting the stock studs in equal lenghts should not cause vibrations.

The weight of studs is extremely close to the hub, it won't cause vibrations, also, I don't believe brake rotors are balanced either.

In any case, IF that was the problem, the car would shimmy at speed, not JUST during braking

Well the car does shake at any speed above 40 mph and when I touch the brakes it gets worse. Lol there are just too many things it could be
