## Warped Brake Rotors:
- This is the most common cause of shaking when braking. When brake rotors become warped, they can cause the brake pads to vibrate, which in turn causes the steering wheel and the entire car to shake. Warped rotors can be caused by a number of things, including overheating, uneven wear, or damage.
## Faulty Brake Calipers:
- Brake calipers are responsible for squeezing the brake pads against the rotors to slow down or stop the car. When calipers are faulty, they may not be able to apply the brake pads evenly, which can cause the car to shake.
## Uneven Tire Wear:
- Uneven tire wear can cause the car to shake when braking because it can throw off the balance of the car. This can be caused by a number of factors, including misalignment, improper inflation, or worn suspension components.
## Loose Wheel Lug Nuts:
- Loose wheel lug nuts can cause the wheels to wobble, which can in turn cause the car to shake when braking.
## Bad Wheel Bearings:
-Bad wheel bearings can cause a similar shaking sensation to warped brake rotors. These are important components that allow the wheel to spin smoothly, and when they wear out, they can create vibrations that are felt through the steering wheel and brake pedal.
## Faulty Ball Joints:
- Ball joints are crucial components that connect the suspension to the wheels. When they wear out or become damaged, they can cause the wheels to shake, especially when braking.
If you are experiencing shaking when braking, it is important to have your car inspected by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible to identify the cause and ensure your safety on the road.
