Only happens when you brake? Warped rotors.

And if so than does anyone here on SON have hook ups on rotors?

There’s a guy selling brand new 4 cross drilled/slotted rotors for S13 (4 bolt) on MontrealRacing. check the Nissan section.

I’d go with warped rotors as well… tie-rods or ball joints would be a possibility, but he should see something when he turns and or decellerates without braking if that were the case.

Besides, upgrading brakes, not a bad thing.

if its only when you brake then start with the rotors.

if it were any of the other issues, most specifically a suspension issue, then you would notice it all the time or at least not only when you are braking.

if you warped the rotors from daily driving its something more serious than just warped rotors
