What causes brake shudder at high speeds?
1 Answers
High-speed brake shudder can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Vehicle drivetrain malfunction: If the steering wheel shakes during high-speed driving, check whether the front wheel alignment angles meet specifications and adjust if necessary; 2. Overly loose or tight power steering belt: Severe steering wheel vibration when turning indicates issues with the power steering belt tension, primarily affecting mechanically hydraulic-assisted vehicles. Adjust or replace the belt as needed; 3. Incorrect tire dynamic balance values: Steering wheel vibration at certain speed ranges occurs due to improper tire balancing, which can cause shaking within specific speed ranges. Wheel hub deformation, incorrect tire pressure, uneven tire wear, or improperly installed balancing weights may all contribute to poor wheel dynamic balance.
