Problem when turning/braking! Help me out!

Hello,

Lately I've been having some problems when I brake or turn. The car feels as if I'm hitting slightly the brakes when I make a turn. Also, when I start braking from a high speed it feels all shaky in the front... Can anyone help me out?

Ya it could really be anything.

Just jack up the car and take the wheel to feel around to see if anything is loose or worn out. Maybe pictures? videos of the sound?

Shaking - do you mean pulsing in the rotors. If so, you have pad material transfer.

Things to check:
1. Lug nut torque. I prefer 100 ft/lbs. Spec is 80.
2. Rotor run out. Need to take to a shop for this unless you have a run out gauge. Look for hot spots on the rotor surface. To fix, machine the surface.
3. Check pads for cracks and uneven wear.

And if you are not comfortable doing any of that - go to a shop.

The car has stock suspension, Kosei 17 wheels, forgot the brand of the tires, stock calipers, project MU, better than stock discs(frogot the brand also )

The car also does a humming like sound and it gets louder as I go faster... you can really hear it on the highway

I'll check on this, however the brake rotors are new.

If not bedded properly, you can easily have transfer on the rotors.

facing the same problem. just put new pads(EBC yellowstuff) on my stock calipers, only one (front passenger side) of them makes this whiny noise. rotors were on the car for a while(im guessing about a yr or so), and they are slotted powerslotts. weird...
