3rd Generation i think i botched up the seafoam

hey guys. a while back i noticed that my brakes were vibrating when applied at high speeds. i read on the threads that it may be parts pertaining to the brakes themselves (rear brakes if drums, rotors, etc). however, i just remembered that this issue arose after I used seafoam through the brake booster vacuum line.

at this point i'm beginning to have thoughts that my using seafoam through the brake booster is linked to the brake vibrations. any thoughts? thanks.

I doubt that this is the cause of the problem.

The brake booster line is a vacuum line that goes into the engine so unless you poured it into the brake booster itself then I don't think the brake issue is related to seafoam.

3rd Generation rotos

Does your steering wheel shake when you press the brake pedal under high speed breaking? If yes you need to check Your front Rotors and make sure they have no heat spots.When was the last time you replaced your front rotors? Maybe it is time to get new ones or get them cut.

When the brakes are applied, I feel and hear the front of the car vibrate; most noticeably is the mirrors and doors. I'm sure the steering wheels vibrate also but I'm probably used to it shaking because the car is old.
