Arrow Brakes Shaking/Vibrating.

So today as I was pulling into a driveway at somewhat of a high speed (30-40?) from a busy street I started to heavily brake and turn the wheel at the same time to get into the driveway and as I was doing so it felt like the brakes were shaking or vibrating. A little background, I had the brakes bled, changed my rotors, pads and lines a little over 3 weeks ago and the brakes are properly bed in. Now when I heavily brake in a straight line, it's perfectly fine. It's only when I'm turning and hard braking this happens.

And no this does not shake my steering wheel so my rotors are 100% fine.

Also another issue that I have is when wheel is at or near full lock it feel very shaky at the tires almost like it's rubbing or bouncing...if that makes any sense.

Sorry for the ****ing essay.

Edit: Not the brake pedal, but the brakes or pads themselves.

Check your tires for cupping. You may also have some play in your front suspension. Check your tie rod ends. Good luck man.

Well I haven't had time to jack the car up and check everything since I've been busy but I forgot to mention that when I'm leaving a curved/slanted driveway at an angle my tires spin as if I was 3 wheeling...I'm really confused. I have a feeling I'm going to be spending a lot of money on suspension components.

Bearings is a possibility, but I doubt it's my rotors since they're brand new. I've only had for a few hundred miles if that.

Check and make sure everything is installed correctly. Pins all the way in, bolts are secure. Loose lug nut?

They're both relatively brand new, I changed my rotors/pads/lines like 3 weeks ago.

If the rotors were just changed out, check the bolts for the caliper bracket. Make sure the bolts were installed and torqued correctly.

Honestly I've been so God damn lazy to check the tie rods and tires.

I'll have to make myself do it tomorrow after work. I hope it's just tires, gives me a good excuse to go wider.

just turn the wheels all the way to either direction and take a look, see if there is any weird shoulder wear or cupping, get down on one knee and feel around the tires. don't wait until you go bouncing and skidding off the road in a turn to do something about the problem. and yes it is a problem.

Funny you mention that, I posted on Thursday the 22nd that I would check after work since it was too dark out...guess what happens the next morning? (Friday 23rd) I wreck my ****ing car on an on-ramp that has a turn on it, on my way to work. More than likely the car is totaled. This ****ing sucks. My laziness got the best of me I now I'm suffering for it.
