Cool shaking problem... rotors maybe?
I have a gut feeling that my front brake rotors are messed up. My '03 Accord shakes a good bit at all speeds. My steering wheel tugs and shakes to accompany the vibrations I feel while driving. Can anybody provide me with some insight?

Thanks

welcome in, Car shaking problems are usually the results of mechanical problems. Bent rims,out of balance tires ,or suspension out of adjustment will make the car shake after reaching a certain speed. Warped brake rotors will also make the car shake when it’s slowing down. Also check your lug nut and make sure they are tight.

Yea, she shakes moreso while driving/accelerating rather than while depressing on the brake pedal. Can you provide me a ballpark repair cost on those mechanical problems you mentioned?
Thank you

the wheel weight probably fell off have your tires balanced it won't cost much especially if you remove the tires yourself.
