What Causes Car Shaking When Braking?

[SanBarrett]

The reasons for car shaking when braking are: 1. Uneven brake disc wear; 2. Dirty throttle body; 3. Faulty spark plugs; 4. Engine cylinder misfire; 5. Deteriorated rubber components in engine and transmission mounts. Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, and other transportation tools or machinery. Methods to address car shaking during braking include: 1. Inspecting the ignition coil for leakage or internal short circuits; 2. Checking for loose or poor contact in the ignition coil wiring connectors; 3. Examining both ends of the battery for corrosion; 4. Verifying proper vehicle grounding.

I've been driving for over a decade, and it's quite common for the car to shake when braking, mostly due to warped brake rotors or uneven wear. Take my old car for example - it would shake during hard braking on highways, and inspection revealed scratches and uneven spots on the rotor surface. This usually happens with frequent hard braking or delayed replacement of worn parts, causing abnormal friction between pads and rotors that makes the steering wheel vibrate. Additionally, loose brake pads or debris caught between components can also cause shaking. The solution is to get it serviced ASAP - either resurface or replace the rotors/pads. Otherwise, it accelerates wear and may even lead to brake failure. Safety first! Light braking during city driving helps minimize this issue.

Bro, I've driven quite a few cars, and brake shudder is really annoying. The cause might be unbalanced tires or wheel axles. Some tires with worn-out treads start shaking when you press the brakes at a red light, feeling like an earthquake. Cracked brake drums or dust buildup in the brake components can also cause this. I've tried taking them apart myself and found that cleaning the brake system and checking tire pressure balance can help. Also, the shaking is more noticeable on wet or bumpy roads. Regular maintenance of the tire and brake system is crucial—don't wait until big problems arise.

I believe that brake pedal vibration is often caused by suspension system issues. For example, when shock absorbers age or suspension components become loose, the car becomes unstable when braking. I personally experienced my front wheels wobbling when the car was about to come to a complete stop, and adjusting the suspension fixed the problem. A simple inspection method is to check for uneven tire wear or abnormal noises from the chassis.
