“Why are my brakes shaking/squeaking?” It could be something wrong with your brake rotors, brake pads, or with your suspension.

Brake pads and rotors work together to stop your wheels. With time, rotors age, and braking wears them thinner and thinner. When thin enough, they become prone to damage, and heat during braking can warp them. A damaged or warped brake rotor is the most common reason for shaking or squeaking when braking. If you have warped brake rotors, you’ll feel a quivering sensation in your brake pedal.
Brake pads can also wear down during use. When brake pads are worn, damaged, or warped, they’ll cause a squeaking sound along with vibrations that you’ll feel through the brake pedal. Luckily, brake pads can be easily replaced.
Suspension or alignment issues are the last culprit for the shaking or squeaking of your vehicle. Over time, suspension components such as ball joints, wheel bearings, or tie rods wear out. This affects the braking experience and can cause your vehicle to vibrate or shake when braking during a turn on a Livonia road.
