Hi Guys -
I just noticed while driving back from Las Vegas yesterday that my car shimmy's while braking at high speed. If you depress the brakes lightly - it seems to shake the steering wheel more than if you depress the brakes harder. And it doesn't seem noticeable at lower speeds.
Any thoughts?

Re: Shimmy while braking...
Sounds like you have some warped brake rotors. Replacement is the only option to get rid of the shimmy.
Bye Bye:
