I have a 2007 300c SRT8 and everytime I speed up to 140 kph and hit the brakes, the steering will vibrates, this happens between 120kph and 140kph only. any ideas on what the problem could be?

How many miles on your car?

I suspect the following:

1. Warped brake rotors
2. Incorrect wheel torque
3. Wheel bearings worn
4. Cupped or worn brake pads
5. Worn suspension bushings

The car has 73500km. Thank you I will get the service guys to take a look, is there a way I can narrow down the diagnosis?

Only a physical inspection can narrow it down.. Just pass along the symptoms you are experiencing and don't suggest any specific cause or areas to inspect. Let the techs do what they are trained to do.

Mine did that, corrosion on the left front caliper. Replaced it and fixed the problem.

Hi Guys, I have been busy with exams and did not have time to take my car to the service guys, now that I have a lot of time in my hands I was wondering how easy is it to do the checks myself. Is it something that I can do myself like the removing of the caliper and checking for corrosion? if so is there a guide I can follow to do it correctly?

If you aren't sure how to take it apart or what to look for, I'd pass on trying to do it yourself.

A mistake with your brakes can cost you your life and the lives of others.
