Default car vibration when brake

Hi Group,

My Ford Explorer'99,77k miles that has problem with vibration. It is
vibrating everytime I brake. Also it happens when I run on uneven
road. Any input is greatly appreciative.

You most likely have warped front brake rotors. Don't bother having them
machined, they'll just warp again in 10,000 miles or so. Buy new front
rotors and your problem should be solved.

Sounds like you have a warped rotor, take it to a machine shop and
have it turned. Gary

I agree that warped rotors will cause a vibration when braking, a very
common problem when impact wrenches are used.

However the uneven road phenomena indicates problems with the front
suspension this could be a potentially dangerous condition, HAVE IT LOOKED
AT by a competent alignment shop.
