    Brake vibs

    Okay here's a weird one that I can't quite figure out. My brakes on my '92 IROC work great. Stop smooth during normal driving no issues. Even when slowing down from high speed with transmission in gear they are smooth. But put transmission in nuetral and slow down from higher speeds and the brakes pulse and shake. And it's not like a heat thing because it's instant. But if car is in gear no shake.

    It could be a broken belt in a tire.

    No clicking when turning. I've replaced the drivers side since I've had the car cause the transmission mount broke which screwed up the CV joint. Shakes with clutch in as well. Basically when there is no power going to the transmission either in neutral or clutch in and only when applying brakes.

    I'm guessing a little tie rod play. a little play and a wee bit of something else.
    I had a weird one with gunk on the caliper pin heating the rotor because of drag. I could feel it but hit the brakes and it shook violently.

    Do you feel it in the steering wheel? If so you can rule the tires out by swapping front-to-back.
