Why would the steering wheel of your Toyota Corolla vibrate when you press the brake pedal?

Answer 1

The wheels were probably overtorqued. Have the rotors turned and the wheels torqued correctly. The mechanic more than likely overtightened the lug nuts holding your wheels on. With all of the Horror stories of people having their wheels come off while riding down the road, service garages and mechanics are probably being over cautious. If tight is good, then even tighter is better. Unfortunately, what happens is that they end up warping the brake rotors (the disks that your break pads pinch together on to make your car stop). The warped rotors then give you that pulsing effect when you brake. Newer cars have lighter weight rotors that are more susceptible to warping, and, if your rotors are old or have been turned on a lathe, they are narrower and weaker and can warp easier.

Answer 2

If the car is "wobbling" after getting new tires it means the "speed balance" on the car is not correct or either you need an alignment. Speed balance: Adding weights to the rim to make the wheel and tire synchronize

Answer 3

One of the two brake rotors on the front is warped. You can either buy new ones or get them machined if they aren't very old. sounds like one of your rotors is warped.

Answer 4

Your rotiors or drums are out of round and need to be turned or replaced.

Answer 5

Front brake rotors are out of round. They need to be resurfaced or replaced.
