I have a 1996 honda accord with 140k. I having a problme with it shaking when braking between 40-20. It shakes very hard. at any other speed its fine. I had the rotors replaced about a year ago but still have suspect they are worped. I also think that is the alignment. It only does it when braking if it is the rotors do the have to be turned when i purchase them

You are answering your own question. If you naturally let the vehicles slow, there is no shuddering but if the brakes are applied the shuddering is present. ROTORS

Suggested Repair

Inspect and replace or resurface the brake rotors. Shudder only when the brakes are applied, not while coasting, points to warped or uneven rotors rather than alignment.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1996 Honda Accord with about 140,000 miles reports hard shaking only when braking between 40 and 20 mph, with no shake at other speeds or when slowing without brakes. Rotors were replaced about a year ago, and alignment was also suspected. The expert concludes the symptom is rotor-related because shudder appears only when the brakes are applied.
