Question Wipers Vibarting the Brake pedal?

Okay, this may sound like dumb question, but when I was sitting at a light the other day with the windshield wipers on intermittent, I noticed that everytime they swung, I could feel a vibration in the brake pedal. I only felt it when I was stopped, and it was pretty faint. Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this? I know these cars are powerful, but wipers with enough hp to vibrate the brake pedal seems a little excessive.

thats strange.

I was driving my moms jag the other day, and noticed the same thing. Everytime the wipers came up, i could feel a heavy click in the brake pedal, and hear it just as well.

No idea what it is..

The wiper motor is simply making a vibration in the Firewall, and when you have your foot on the brake Pedal you have tension againt the brake master-cylinder which is also attached to the firewall, so when the firewall vibrates the Brake pedal Virates. YOu have no idea how many people come to me complaining about that. At least 1 a week
