Tiny swerve when braking @ high speed, normal?
Hi guys,
I noticed today while on the highway that at speeds of 60-70 if i need to brake at all my car does so smoothly, however, if im around 85-90 and brake a little, the car will slightly swerve left to right a little, is that normal, ok, or should I be worried? |

if the tires are bad I would replace them and also get it aligned once the new tires are on, alignment may be part of the problem and/or will tell you what parts in the suspension may be worn.
It's also possible that you may have a brake problem but start with the tires and suspension since you need new tires anyway and you should always get an alignment with new tires... |

I would also check wheel bearings and if not i would move to suspension. Always start troubleshooting from the less expensive parts.

Yes. If you're brakes aren't balanced under light braking, they will be massively unbalanced under heavy braking which is bad! Find a quiet even road and check them out. |
