2006 DTS (base model - no upgrades) 75K miles
Hi all - bare with me as I've been a lurker for a while since I bought my DTS in December of 2010. I recently began having issues with my brakes... started with the rear - caliper was seized onto the rotor. Got that partially fixed several months ago, but didn't replace the rotor because I've been unemployed for a while now (6 figures to low 5 figures puts a new perspective on things). The front brakes, and back rotors continued to deteriorate and it developed a shake at all speeds that increased with braking.
..fast forward to now... replaced the rotors and pads all around and the shaking is still there - although the weird part is that when I am at high speeds and apply the brake it actually STOPS the shaking (I feel it throughout the car, but most violent in the steering wheel and gas pedal). All speeds actually stop the shaking with the brakes applied until I'm within 50 feet of where I want to stop than I can hear the "clunk" "clunk."
It feels and sounds like it is coming from the front passenger wheel - I thought since I replaced the rotors/pads that it would help, but didn't. My next move is to get a front end alignment, but have a suspicion that it won't rectify the problem.
Has anyone else had this problem? Solutions? Thoughts?
..I've done alot of searching, but can only find info on shaking during braking. Thanks in advance!
