My 240 shakes really bad when I'm braking from higher speeds, even if slowly pressing on it. I recently upgraded to Q45 f brakes with all new parts, new front tien inner/outer tie rods and rebalanced my wheels. What else should I check to fix this?

Did you get an alignment after doing all that?

After the tie rods yes

Rotors are new. Had the brake upgrade sitting in the garage awhile, noticed the shaking and installed it yesterday. Still has the shake

Did you clean the hub behind the rotor, or does it have dirt in there?

Yeah cleaned it pretty well. Brake cleaner, and wiped down

No. They're top hat and have less than 10000 miles on them. Maybe even less than 5000

I think your car is old and dying. It's time to put it down, bro.

:ugh:

Anyone else have any suggestions? Hopefully today I'll get some time to check out the front end/steering.

if the shake is only when braking, it's likely your rotors, or something behind the rotors.

I suggest taking the brakes apart and making 100% sure there's nothing stuck in there, and if that doesn't help, get another new set of rotors to be sure it's not them, just because they're new doesn't mean they're perfect

and make sure your calliper carrier bolts are tight

Just looked at it and my end link is broken. AND the strut bushing is shot.
