Ok, where did you do that? That is the problem. You said the vibration starts at high speed. If the tire is not balanced correctly, at a high RPM the tire contour displacement causes the vibration. Go back to the same place ask them to test the tire balance again.

I bet that will solve your problem of vibration at high speed.

If the problem like rotor or other uneven things, the vibration should have shown up at lower speed too. So, I eliminate that as a cause.
hmm .. vibration does NOT starts at high speed. its when apply brakes to decelerate , I didnt depress the brakes hard , just smoothly and easily no pressure ... and this doesn't happen after long driving hours , last time happened I was going back from college to home , it only take 15 min ...

today at morning I went to a highway and did a test .. I hit 160 KMH ( mehh speed is cool ) steering wheel was rock solid and stable .. but it happened again when decelerate , when the car was deacclrating (applying the brakes ) between 100 KMH to 80 KMH I felt the vibration again , its just happened for few seconds and only the wheel steering ... again tried 100 KMH and put some pressure on the brakes by stopping it hard ( full step on the brake ) but no vibration except the tires smell after the wild brake lol ..

now something a friend told me about , which is , if the tires where not balanced the car wont go in straight line .. it will diverge to left or right slowly which means I have the unbalanced front wheel , if they are balanced my car should stay on straight line for a long while .. I tested hat myself and I guess its balanced ... unless my friend is wrong then I will look for ur replies ..

for what braking pads did I use .. well, I dont know .. hmm but I went with my father to Toyota Service Center and bought the pads + rear bulb ..


Im sorry , must be bothering u guys , Im good driver in both games and real life lol , but when it comes to the mechanics Im a FAIL .. so Im trying to get all infos I can for the future ..
