Car shakes / vibrates while braking. Any help pls?
Hi, My car vibrates at around 80kms and also the break pedal pulsate a bit. I have bought new front and rare rotors, machined them and also replaced the break pads and the rear shoes. But still it is happening.
Also I have noticed that when pulling the handbrake at 80kms, it will increase the vibration and makes the car shakes.
What would it be causing this problem?
It's a citroen xsara 1999 1.4l

Could also be a buckled wheel or a faulty tyre.

could be bad rear discs and or balancing, a lot of tyre fitters don't balance the rears

I would suggest that the brake caliper might be the reason.
Solution: apply brake caliper grease.
Here's a pic which I posted in another thread ( #1 is the caliper):
