Spent a lot of time searching through forums and youtube video's. Haven't found anything specific for 2012 Supercharged Rovers due to its different caliper design for the front wheels.
I have started to get a steering vibration when I brake above speeds of 50-60MPH. I do not get any below those speeds. The higher the speed, the greater the vibration. I have visually checked the rotors and don't see and cracks or burn spots. The vibration seems to be coming from front but its hard to say. Drive is smooth and no vibrations when I drive normally(without braking). No brake light or dash warnings. I have read some solutions online that may or may not apply to mine:
- Wheel alignment and rotation (people talking about finding water inside tires??). --- Only happens while braking so don't think this is the issue.
- Rotor issue? --- Could be but I visually looked and it seems fine. I can look closely again but not sure what to look for.
- Brake pads replace --- I don't have the brake light warning on so don't think this is the issue unless there is uneven wear
- Cliper piston stuck --- Could this be a possibility with the Supercharged with its front caliper design?
Was thinking of lifting it up tonight and taking the wheels out and inspecting the brakes. Not sure if I would find anything or what to look for.
Any thoughts?
