1991 Honda Civic Steering wheel shakes when brake from high

Hello -

Hello Duncan

To better assist you is your model just the Civic or the CRX, CRX HF, CRX Si, DX, or EX, LX or Si and please tell me your engine size in liter

Hello -

Yes you are correct....... The most likely cause is the rotors are warped therefore when you press the brake you get the wobble.

Many times turning them isn't good enough... So you might consider the brake job and replacing the front rotors.........

Hello -

Oh one other thing.......

Also, it looks like you may have a recall on your vehicle. The dealer may fix this for free. Please contact the dealer service department, give them the VIN number of your car and have them check on this to see if it applies to you. I have it below.

Number of Affected Vehicles: 3700000
Beginning Date of Manufacture: 1985 MAR
Ending Date of Manufacture: 1991 DEC
2-door, 4-door and 5-door passenger vehicles equipped with safety belts made by Takata Corporation.
SYSTEM
Seat belts; belt buckles.
FAULT
Fastener, Thread failure with safety belts made by Takata Corporation.
DESCRIPTION OF DEFECT
The front safety belt buckle release buttons can break. These red plastic release buttons are marked "PRESS." If a button breaks, pieces can fall into the buckle assembly causing the buckle to operate improperly.
CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT
The safety belts would not provide adequate protection to an occupant in a vehicle crash.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Owners should promptly check the condition and operation of both front safety belt buckles. Carefully inspect the red release button for any breaks or cracks. Check that both buckles are operating properly by inserting each latch plate into its buckle, tug on the belt to make sure the latch is securely locked, then press the release button. The latch plate should pop out of the buckle when the button is pressed. If either release button shows any sign of breakage or cracking, or if either buckle fails to operate properly, promptly contact your authorized Honda/Acura dealer to schedule an appointment to have the buckle replaced or repaired, free of charge. The manufacturer is developing a remedy designed to prevent the failure of the buttons that are not currently broken.
NOTE
If your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer at an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided free of charge within a reasonable time, please contact Honda/Acura at 1-800-999-1009. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
