Brake and Shake By Dean Schwartz
Customers come to me all the time because their car shakes when braking, mostly at higher speeds. Quite often they believe that they have a problem with their wheel balancing or alignment, but nine times out of ten, the issue is their brakes. Though shaking independent of using the brakes is a sign of problems with balancing, alignment or worn tires, when you "brake and shake", it's probably because of out-of-round rotors, worn brake pads or perhaps something even more severe and potentially dangerous in the brake system. We do free brake inspections on most vehicles by appointment at Lloyd's Tire Service in Santa Cruz. If you're concerned about "brake and shake" or anything else regarding your brakes, give us a call to schedule an inspection today.
