I'm sure this has been posted and asked, but I really couldn't find where.
Here goes nothing, I get a pretty bad shack in the car (feels like I'm driving a blender sometimes) when braking from 30+. Its been going on, well, now this morning while driving over a speed bump, it feels like there is something loss under the carriage. Like the control arm is coming loss or not tight enough, and I know its b/c of the shake.

1. Does the shake mean i should change my calipers or rotors and Pads?
2. The undercarriage clunking noise could it be the ball joints or the control arms?

As always your help is appreciated.

shaking while braking is rotors, clunking could be many things.



I have shaking all the time = sticking calipers

The shake is that you warped your rotors. I'd go to a local exhuast shop and see if they can spin them for you. I doubt you need pads.. but I'm not sure how much life is left on them.

pretty much you may not need rotors, but if there is no room to spin them, you may need to buy new rotors and pads.

The clunking on my car went away when I replced the front calipers.

Thanks everyone. I think I'm just gonna play it safe, and go ahead and get a complete brake job. Do the LS400 calipers as well, thankfully my LS came with rebuilt calipers that are working fine.

Remember your wheels have to be able to fit pass the LS calipers.

They actually do. I received them this morning, and instead of going to work like any responsible adult, i called in and said i will be late to put them on. they FIT....
i will paint them tonight and then tomorrow or this weekend i will post the pix
