There was no body damage but I skidded into mud and the threads where the wheel attaches were trashed. So I had a mechanic replace the part that has the threads that holds the tire on, I think its called a hub but i honestly have no idea. So It drives fine now but I noticed that it was acting weird when I took it on the highway. When I slow down you can feel the breaks in the steering wheel. The steering wheel rattles back and forth a little when I use the breaks. It feels as if all the breaks are working except the one that had the wheel problem in the past but I have no idea. I was wondering if maybe it was just dirt stuck in the breaks still or if something is just really messed up. Also Im very paranoid about the wheel flying off again while I drive. Is there a possibility this will happen again?

You must have bent or damaged the brake rotor and only a new set (set both sides done equally) is the fix. What ever situation left you with a loose wheel needs to be addressed. Mistakes happen, that one needs full attention, T greencandyjane New User Sep 8, 2013, 8:35 PM Post #3 of 3 (1558 views) Re: Car steering shakes when using breaks Sign In thank you so much for your help!!! The reason the wheel came off was fixed but I will get the rotors and breaks looked at and replaced.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
