car shakes when brakes are applied
burnolise:
when the wheel alignment is out will cause the steering wheel to vibrate when braking...as for your car shakes, it depends on the degree of shaking...it could also mean that the engine chasis is lose...............or i could be simply spoutting nonsense here.... :w00t:

how much i wont know. you can either:
1. change the rotor
2. send the rotor for skimming
But like i said, its only my guess, because usually when the car vibrates only when u brake, then chances are high is a warped brake rotor.
aerosignal:
1. check rim nuts tightened in properly: Only way is by using a torque wrench.
2. check wheel hub bearing: Unlikey because that one when driving will also have problems and usually will give off a humming sound.
3. check rotors, check brake pads: Don't think you can or want to check these yourself. But warped rotor can be caused by 1.
4. check balancing: This one most likely not also because affect you most when you are at speed.
How old is your ride? Tire rotated or changed recently?
If under warranty, bring back to TC.

Car vibrating when stopped is not uncommon. Mine does that a bit too. It is because of the low idling rpm. Put to neutral and its gone right?
