Please fam, I own a Volvo V40 1996 model. Anytime I drive and apply the brakes, the brake pedal and the steering vibrates terribly. It happens when I drive above 60kph. I have done alignment and wheel balancing countless times still no improvement. Please what do I do?

Nairaland is not a mechanic workshop.

Kindly find one near your area, thanks.

You need to check your brake rotors (both front and back).

if I should tell him the problem, will he fix it himself?

Bro, It doesn't matter.
If you know the problem, say it.

You wouldn't be talking to him alone but also helping others who can fix theirs themselves

ok I am not so sure but it has happened to my dad's car before. The mechanic said the braking system is faulty and he engine screw is not tight.

Dad's mechanic gave a vague explanation and Dad took it that way. But for some of us who want detailed explanations, we come to Nairaland to seek opinion of learned technicians. Was Dad's mechanic eventually able to fix the problem?

There are different causes of vibration in an automobile. In the case of the OP, the vibe occurs when ever he steps on his brakes. So I wld suggest chaikie replaces both front brake disks with new ones.

Nairaland car talk section can be called an online mechanic workshop.

Cheers.

Thanks all. I am blessed to be a member of this honorable forum. I brag about our engineers on Nairaland when I am with friends! Oga Gazzuzz, I sight you. DECOtech baba, thanks for having my back. The brake disks and rotors would be changed tomorrow and feedback would be given here. Thanks once again.

You are welcome bro.

I see Gazzuzz has offered you a more pocket friendly option. I didn't know he had the rotor resurfacing tool. You shld go to him.

Sir, please forgive my curiosity. Does resurfacing make the brake disc as good as new? Plus the the brake disc is always very hot after a good run with the car. A friend told me it's my calipers not returning properly. How true is it please?
