Shimmy When Braking

Fix Soon

Shimmy When Braking means the vehicle is showing a repeatable brakes symptom that should be narrowed by when it happens, warning lights, fluid condition, and basic visual checks. The most likely paths to check first are Brake Rotor Runout or Uneven Rotor Thickness, Uneven Front Brake Pad Deposits, Loose Front-End Steering or Suspension Part.
