1995 GS300, 100,000 miles, no accidents, bought new.
The front vibrates when braking. Even the shifter handle on the console vibrates like mad. Rotors, of course, but don't think so. Rotors were turned twice to of no avail. Then I replaced with new rotors and brake pads. The pins on the calipers were also well lubricated. Same problem again. Then onward to suspension. No apparent problem, as checked out by a garage (although I still have reservations on that). The brake paddle does not vibrate when the symptoms occurs and the car drives beautifully straight and vibration free. The problem occurs only when braking, and seems to come from one side (although I am not positive on that) and the car does not pull to either side. Also, the antilock brake light does not indicate any problem. The tires do not have abnormal wear. Some people mentioned Universal joint, but there is no noise or any abnormal sensation while driving. Master cylinder? Brake boost? Brakes do not lock or is there any loss of braking. Antilock brake still? The problem is not noticeable when braking from 20 mph or under. But braking from 40, the vibrations are definitely there. Thanks for your help in advance.
