1. Warped Rotors:
- Confirm if the rotors are indeed warped by inspecting them for any uneven surface or thickness variation.
- Warped rotors can cause vibrations during braking due to uneven contact between the brake pads and rotors.
2. Brake Caliper Issues:
- Check if the brake calipers are functioning correctly.
- Sticking or malfunctioning calipers can cause uneven braking and vibrations.
3. Suspension Components:
- Inspect the suspension components such as control arms, ball joints, and tie rods for any wear or damage.
- Worn or damaged suspension components can contribute to vibrations under braking.
Acceleration:
1. Driveline Components:
- Inspect the driveshaft, universal joints, and axle for any issues such as imbalance or worn components.
- Problems with these components can cause vibrations during acceleration.
2. Transmission Issues:
- Check if there are any issues with the transmission, such as a faulty torque converter or worn gears.
- Transmission problems can lead to vibrations during acceleration.
3. Engine Mounts:
- Inspect the engine mounts for any signs of wear or damage.
- Worn or damaged engine mounts can allow excessive engine movement, resulting in vibrations.
Additional Considerations:
- Tire Imbalance: Check the tires for proper inflation and balance. Unbalanced tires can cause vibrations at certain speeds.
- Wheel Alignment: Ensure the wheels are properly aligned. Misalignment can lead to uneven tire wear and vibrations.
It's important to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose the exact cause of the vibrations and recommend any necessary repairs.
