Help figuring out my brake problem
Hi everyone - Im having a problem with my brakes on my BRZ.
When i press the brakes the car vibrates, i can feel the vibration on the brake pedal, on the steering wheel and even passengers can feel this vibration. The more high speed braking i do, the more the vibration i notice. At low speeds, i can feel some tapping on the brake pedal during braking, but there is no vibrations. Tires/wheels are new, and were mount/balanced. Today i replaced the front rotors and pads thinking my old rotors could warped. Issue is still there, same vibration when pressing the brakes and even worse when braking at high speeds. Any suggestions what could be? |

Rear rotors would be my next guess.

Mine got worse with repeated/increased braking (increased brake/hub temperature?). I can't say it is the hub in your case, but I'm not sure I'd discount it either. Mine didn't show any of the typical signs of a failure (noise/play). |

In my case, the vibrations are getting worse by day, i try to drive slow and brake slowly in the meantime if i have to use the car. |

On Monday, I called Subaru of America and they gave me a $500 parts/service credit which covered 2 new OEM hubs, so I replaced the passenger side as well. The Subaru parts counter guy did half joke that I might be better off leaving the parts store brand hub on the car. |

I can't speak to the quality of aftermarket vs. OEM. Sorry. The link you sent is the same part # I put on my car. https://parts.ewingsubaruofplano.com...8373CA000.html |

I replaced the front driver side wheel hub and part of the problem went away.
The other problem was my rear rotors, the inner side of the rotors were falling apart. It was tricky because the outer side of the rear rotor looked fine, but all the signs pointed at the rear rotors so they were replaced. |

I don't think I've seen rotors wear like that before. What was the brand of the rotors?
