2015 Altima in my signature(~60K miles).
My car tracks nice and straight & smooth at all HIWY speeds just like new. So, I know my BRAND NEW tires are in good balance and front end is sound & aligned(checked).
However, I do have a slight pulsation while braking(which I've known) and I will in fact be changing the rotors in a few months.
Since the rotors aren't too awful bad yet, I thought I'd remove them(this warm day) and clean'em up, lube the sliders and bleed the system. Doing this often removes the pulsation(in which it did this time too)...probably for those few months till I order new rotors.
HOWEVER! I have NOW created a shimmy at those HIWY speeds(various speeds) as if there is a tire out of balance. I went back through my work and removed & reinstalled everything that I had done earlier. I also made sure all mating surfaces are good & clean(Rotors to Hubs, Wheels to Rotors) and everything is torqued properly.... You know what I mean?
Well, this has helped with the shimmy somewhat but, it didn't get rid of it completely.
*WHAT DID I DO, WHAT IS GOING ON?
