Check rotors for roughness or worn breaks also ball joints

check your rotors... they might be slightly uneven, which causes wheel vibration when applied only at high speeds...

Agreed, probly a warpt rotor, I just replaced the rotors on mine, as I suspected the same and it was definitely the right diagnosis, brake feel great now

Hi,
I have the same problem, during slowing down at high speed (150-160km) I feel a little bit shake. even leaving the gas pedal at high speed causes the same shake. If you ve fixed your problem let me know. I ll check the rotors this week. Thanks guys.

Before spending coin (it could be a warped rotor), try a bed-in procedure on your brakes (click: Instructions for bedding in your brakes). I had some vibration on mine when braking at speed and after doing this, it was smooth sailing !

I had the same issue! I checked the brakes control arms everything! Turned out that my tires where just about done but the name issue was that both tie rod ends where gone and needed to be replaced. Changed them out with the aftermarket heavy duty units and wow what a world of difference!!
