When putting on the brakes to slow down from a high speed the car shakes what can cause this problem?
Warped brake rotors/drums.
Chevy Tahoe 1996when you slow down shakes and vibrate?
Your rotors on the front are warped replace the rotors and break pads ane it will be fine
Why does the steering wheel shake when i brake to slow down the car?
If the car is only shaking when you are applying the brakes, the most likely reason is warped rotors. The rotors can become warped when they are overheated and then cooled off too rapidly. This can happen when you have hot rotors and then you run over a puddle and the water splashes on them.
The front end of your 2000 ford Expedition shakes when you start to slow the vehicle down why?
Front brake rotors are warped
Why a slow response to acceleration on 2002 Malibu?
There are several things that can cause a slow response to acceleration. The most common cause is a dirty air filter. A dirty fuel filter can also cause the problem.
When I'm going to slow down from a speed of at least 60mph i feel my steering wheel shake and vibrate Is this something with the rotors?
Yes more than likely, warped rotors. Have rotors turned if thick enough as well as new brake pads installed. If the rotors do not meet a minimum thickness requirements, they will have to be replaced as well. A good shake down of the front end wouldn't hurt either. Sometimes bearing, tie rods, etc... can cause stuff to happen as well. But I would bank on the warped rotor idea, no doubt. Good Luck. Let me know if further questions.
What do brake rotors do?
They stop your car. They are round discs that are kind of attached to the wheels and the pads grip the rotors when you apply the brakes to slow down the car. When a rotor becomes warped due to excessive heat, the steering wheel will shake when you apply the brakes.
Why does a 1998 Hyundai elantra shake when you step on the gas after you slow down or stop?
When you vibrations when braking, it usually means you have warped brake rotors. A warped brake rotor's surface can become uneven after a period of extremely heavy braking or age. Consider having your disc brake system serviced, check your pads, and get the rotors machined. When rotors get machined a machine grinds them down to an even surface. Typically it cures scoring, glazing, and warping.
Does acceleration have a negative or positive value if the velocity is increasing speed?
In this case, acceleration is positive. Negative acceleration would cause the object to slow down (decelerate.)
What would cause slow acceleration on a 1999 ford escort?
Lots of things, most of them engine problems ( assuming you your parking brake is not set on and your tires all have air.) The cheapest to fix would be badly adjusted or worn carbuerator and/or spark plugs and spark plug wires - this is what the typical engine tune-up would fix. More serious engine probles such as bad piston rings or warped valves would cause slow acceleration and would require an over-haul.
Will warped rotor cause abs light to come on?
Quick answer more than likely not. The ABS system has nothing to do with your rotors. Your brake pads come in contact with your rotors to slow you down. You break ware sensor (if equipped) is tripped when the pad wears to its minimum. The ABS is in no way connected to or monitors your rotor. Some vehicles use the ABS to detect a flat tire, among other things, but sounds like you have another culprit.
What can cause vibration in steering and car when turn steering wheel at stop or slow speeds mainly to the left?
Warped rotor,Tie rods, Wheel bearings (hub).
