What causes a vibration in the front end?
Thanks Steve,Because you’ve already had your wheels balanced, I would try to skim the brake rotors as they are known to get warped and could cause vibration. It is also possible that your front brakes dragging and that causes the brake rotors to get hot and eventually warped.
What causes steering wheel to shimmy when braking?
As your brakes wear, if low-quality pads/rotors are used, many cars can become a victim of a steering wheel vibration/shimmy while braking. It’s usually most significant when braking from a high speed like on highway off-ramps. To find out if this is the issue, first pull off your front wheels and inspect your front brakes.

This is not always 100 percent indicative, as there are a number of variables involved in car vibrations. Certain alignment issues in the back end can cause the steering wheel to vibrate as it shakes the car from side to side, for instance.

Why does my steering wheel shake when I brake?
Prior to replacing my tie rod ends, my Volvo S70 had a vibration which seemed to get worse from 70mph+, this would be a progressive vibration. Or, lets say you had a bad wheel vibration when braking lightly from high speeds, but if you pressed the pedal harder, it would go away…this would also be a progressive vibration.
Why does my front wheel vibration not go away?
Check the inside of the rim, too. You may not feel free play in a front wheel (front- or rear-drive), but try rocking it in and out with a bit more effort, but not enough to move the steering linkage. That could demonstrate free play from wear in the tie-rod ends or ball joints.
How can you tell if your car has a vibration?
It’s a vibration that isn’t even perceptible at lower speeds. A simple wheel balance will cure most vibrations. But if that doesn’t cure the problem–or if it cropped up suddenly within a reasonable time after a wheel balance–your problems may go deeper. Begin by cranking the wheels over to the steering stop and looking at the inside of the rim.
