advice needed...
« on: May 21, 2006, 03:16:41 AM »

I am in need of some advice on my 99' Avenger.

I believe I am having a problem with either my brakes or possibly the suspension.

When I put the brakes on in my car, it feels like a rocking motion, like if you were slamming the breaks on even when your not..

some things I have tried to fix the problem are:
-Rotating Rotars, turning rotars, replacing rotars.
-New break pads, new shoes.
-And recently put in new wheel bearings.

However, I am still having the same problem, only its getting worse.

If anyone has any ideas on this, please shoot the ideas my way....

Thanks in advance.

Have your ABS system checked, that's the only thing you haven't done.  The ABS pulses and that could be what you feel.  Also loosen your lug nuts and retorque them since shops air gun everything and never use torque wrenches and they could have warped your new rotors.  Sorry this post is so short...but this whole "you've already posted" crap just screwed me up.

I've had the car about a year, and I am not sure if the old owner had the recall done, I will call the dealer in the morning.

Thanks, I will keep you posted if that's the problem.

I am looking in the ABS now, the rotors were put on by a torque wrench, I put them on. they are torqued correctly so, IU highly doubt that's the problem.

Recall was completed in 2002, according the the dealer lookup. the axle, and CV joint are still in good working order, and I'm not seeing anything wrong with that.

if you have done all that it is a good chance the suspention is the guilty party ... do you drive fast down bumpy roads or otherwise aggressively.  Mine does the same thing though to a lesser degree and the struts are done.  When you break, the weight of the car shifts forward and if the front struts are done in then they will flex right down with the weight.  Likewise on the rear during accelleration.
