Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / October 2007Shakes!!!
Hey guys My 1990 GT has been shaking lately when I apply the brakes and I went ahead and replaced my rotors and pads and all the seals and bearings and it brakes better now but I am still getting some shakes when I brake....the steering wheel actually shakes if I really get on the brake and I am thinking maybe CV joint or boot problem??? Anybody know what might be causing this to happen??? > Hey guys > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > brake and I am thinking maybe CV joint or boot problem??? Anybody know > what might be causing this to happen??? Yes, you should have replace both CV joints on both sides when you replaced the brakes. WTF is wrong with you??? That's just plain lazy!

You're talking to someone who thinks that popping a sail atop a 3,000 pound motor vehicle is a viable alternative. - dwight >> Hey guys >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Yes, you should have replace both CV joints on both sides when you > replaced the brakes.

I actually had a mechanic friend of mine help me so maybe HE was just being lazy in not wanting the job to take longer, who knows. Anyway, I will go ahead and replace the CV joints and see if that helps. Thanks for being so nice about it! hahaha! These guys are just having fun with you. Your car does not have CV joints. The day they build a Mustang that does will be the day I abandon Ford. CV joints are typically only found on front wheel drive and some AWD cars...NOT on a 90 Mustang GT. The tie rod suggestion is a good place to start, check out all of your front suspension while you're at it including the struts. >> > Hey guys >> [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > Anyway, I will go ahead and replace the CV joints and see if that > helps.

It's just that you walked in with a big bullseye on you when mentioning CV joints on a Mustang. Consider it a right of passage, although, we all can be a target here at one time or another. >>> These guys are just having fun with you. Your car does not have CV >>> joints.

With cast aluminum rims they tend to crack before warping. The reason I know a bad tie rod end can mimic a warped rotor is because I had one that did. It fooled me so well I had the rotors checked first and found they were fine. One new tie rod later and all was well again. > > you have a tire out of balance or a warped wheel. thats where youre > > problem is. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > that did.

Well thanks for all the advice, I was actually told by a mechanic to check the CV joints so I will give him a hard time about it when I see him....anyway, I also noticed that it doesn't happen all the time, it is kind of random, and the most frequent times it happens is when I am going 80+ and need to slow down very quickly. :-) Anyone have any other ideas?? I will check the tie rods.. >>> you have a tire out of balance or a warped wheel. thats where youre >>> problem is.

It there are lose then the wheel will wobble. >> Hey guys >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Yes, you should have replace both CV joints on both sides when you > replaced the brakes.
