odd vibration and noise
Hi all,
Every once in a while when I brake going down hill I get a slight vibration in my steering wheel and I can hear the noise to some degree.
Brakes visually look okay from the outside. No feeling of warping or uneven wear on the rotors. I don't notice any bubbles or feathering in the tires. I get this at different speeds. I can't always replicate this when going down an decline. When driving on flat roads or uphill braking this doesn't happen.
Wheel alignment was done about 2 months ago and everything lined up within spec. Any ideas?

I was having the same issue. I took the pads off and found that one was cracked, most likely due to extreme fluctuation in temperatures in my region as the pads had 3/4 of life left on them (OEM Brembo pads). When was the last time you checked your brakes and in what condition are your tires? Were the wheels balanced when you got the alignment? These are typically the things I check first when vibration and noise come into play. Shouldn't be the alignment as that will not cause vibration.
