Steering Wheel Vibration

[roky]

Chief,

I have a Honda Civic 1.8S AT and I am experiencing steering wheel vibration when breaking at high speed (140 - 150 kph) which normally doesn't appear when breaking at a lower speed. I have the casa qc technician check it out through a test drive with me 2 days ago. And after experiencing it himself, he concluded that it is just the ABS working. Mga chief; is this correct? Does anyone experience the same vibration when breaking at high speed? Thank you for your replies.

I have the same problem. Mine occurs at 120kph up. My car is an 89 galant supersaloon and absolutely got no ABS At first i suspected my front brake rotors to be the culprit but when my mechanic inspected it, its in perfect shape (smooth even surface) He suggested to have my wheel balanced on a hi speed wheel balancer (meron ba nito sa manila?) as of now, my quick solution is not to go faster than 120kph

I have a honda civic 2001 vti-s also mine occurs at 120 kph, casa inspected my rotors and they said it was fine plus my disc pads are also ok. they also it was the abs working but i know it's not the abs.

Sounds like some BS to me. Braking vibration might be caused by deformed/warped front brake rotors. Usually when the ABS activates, the brake pedal vibrates and NOT the steering wheel.

Yeah, it sounds like BS to me too. They have checked my rotors and break pads, and they said that it is still within specifications.

I go with this or replace your tyres bro baka gastado na mga yan.

Sir, OK pa yung tires ko. They checked my alignment and they have balanced my wheels, pero the vibrations still came out when breaking at high speeds.

Good to know I am not alone. I think it's not really normal for the steering wheel to vibrate during high speed breaking. I have experienced the abs working when sudden breaking but it is different from what i have experienced when breaking at high speed.

i have the same problem about a week ago... i have done some research here is what i got.

as it turns out the culprit is the rack end and tie rod...
my pinion also have a busted oil seal...
got it fix at around 15k plus.

vibration at certain speeds is usually caused by dynamically imbalanced tires. bent wheels, worn out tires, loose steering components (tie rods. loose rack and pinion assembly mounts, worn out wheel bearings) but believe it or not: dragging brakes will cause these symptoms.

naku sakit yata ng mga new civic yan. sa akin kakukuha pa lang sa casa (2 mos ago) me vibration na. tinest ko sa NLEX hayun nanginginig. sabi ng honda "dalhin nyo po sa & aayusin namin". sayang na naman ang oras, oh well.

bawal mgpakabit ng fog lamps & front & rear sensors sa banawe, void daw warranty. sisi tuloy ako

try alignment and balancing. hth

ito rin suggest ko.

Mine's not a civic and I also experienced the same in my Advie, I tried replacing break pads, tapos yun lang OK na ulit... I"m also wondering what's with those stock break pads installed...

warped disc or rotor or sometimes they called them parallelism,it refers to variations in thickness of the rotor.you know nobody can detect a warped disc by just watch it and fell it because you cannot really see its thickness variation unless you have a micrometer,then you can tell.this kind of problem appears only during braking at a high speed and you can also feel a brake pulsation at low speed,like 30-50 km/h.im a 100% sure that this is your problem (warped disc),have somebody mic it and resurface it.and heres one thing i want you to know that ABS system has nothing to do with a brake pulsation.

[dennis powell]

roky: im sorry, i just wanted to correct my self there, its not a brake pulsation.what i mean to say is abs system has nothing to do with a steering wheel vibration.once again sorry.

[CaMoTe!!!]

mine starts at 100-105. but if you keep on accelerating and get to 110-120, nawawala naman... so sakin, bawal lang ako sa 100-105.. dapat 115 on the average.. :p

Parang ABS yan at work. What type of vibrator este vibration are you experiencing? You feel it sa steering wheel? How about the brake pedal ano reaction? At 140-150 kph how many meters before impact are you braking?

Hi guys. Ano na ba ang naging solution sa problem na ito? Im also experiencing the same problem. Slight vibration on high speed then mas ramdam na when braking from high speed... No brake pedal vibration... So its not the abs though sira yung sensor ng abs ko.... Driving a lancer ex. Pina wheel balance ko na pala but the vibration problem is still there... If the rotors are warped,what are the possible cause? Thanks

Warped rotors are best checked when dismantled and turned on a lathe machine and its specs ("straightness") checked with a dial gauge. Causes of warped rotors are aplenty but the most common possible cause lately is probably due to the material used. This maybe partly explained due to mass production...

[champ1982]

still vibrating on high speed... Weird kung warped rotors bakit kahit hindi naman ako naka apak sa brakes nag vavibrate padin? though mas malakas or mas ramdam yung vibration pag umapak ka na ng brakes... Please help...
