2007 Outlander, LS, V6, 4WD, White

I have replaced the brakes all the way around, new rotors, pads front and rear, still had shaking while braking at higher speed. I did the same thing again 6 months later and I still have the same problems. I made sure all rust was removed from the hub to get a good seat with the rotors. The tires are less than 6 months old and were balanced. Used NAPA parts for everything and did everything myself. I have done about 10 brake jobs in my life so I know how to complete it.

Does anyone have ideas as to what could be causing this? Master cylinder, bad brake fluid, electronics problem? I used NAPA products on my Honda Ridgeline and it is perfect.

I would like to narrow it down before taking it to the dealer or possibly fix it myself.

Thanks for the help.

 

are you feeling the shake in the steering wheel, brake pedal, or the seat?

I just replaced the pads and fluid at 60k or so. I will occasionally get a shimmy in the steering wheel and pedal at high speeds. I've always associated that with a rotor that either has a hard spot or very slightly warped/bent. it would have to be in the front to affect the steering wheel.

I'd suggest taking the rotors off and checking with a parts store who turns rotors to check them to make sure they are flat.

Another thing to check, that I never thought of till I was reading an article a few weeks ago, is debris between the hub and rotor mounting surface. They were saying that rust and/or dirt may cake up causing the rotor to not sit flush with the hub. I've never paid attention when doing brakes like that, but others have said they've had that happen. They said to take a quick wipe with sandpaper to knock the crud off before putting the rotor back on.

stabbing in the dark...hope it helps.

 

My 06 raider is doing it also. Only at high speed. I’m thinking transmission
