LexKid630 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Lately my rx300 has been showing some of these symptoms: -steering wheel shakes while breaking down hill (car pulses as well) -steering wheel + car shakes over 80 MPH -steering wheel pulls to the right while accelerating after red light etc. Besides getting the wheels balanced & checking the rotors, what should i do/check? Do you think it's just the front or rear wheels that have a problem? Any suggestions/input is appreciated! BTW the tires (stock type) are pretty new... Thanks! 2003 Rx300 AWD 77,000MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgr7 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Your on the right track, it sounds like your right brake is hanging up and has most likley warped the rotor. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Tang Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 have you hit anything recently, like a curb or pothole? worst case scenario is that you have a bent wheel or damaged a tire (belt separation). a competent mechanic should be doing this checks anyway.

LexKid630 Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 I don't remember hitting anything large/deep, however i do sometimes "hop" over curbs taking corners too tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
