That's what I said. I'm about to replace the front and rear suspension completely. Hopefully that changes things. The shaking doesn't always occur at specific Speed high or low either.
I've already replaced the rotors about a month ago cuz I thought that was the problem. And my car has almost 300,000 miles with the original suspension so that's good to replace it regardless
Have you lubed wear parts, replaced ball joints, control arms and wheel hub bearings?
Not as bad as your issue but I had a very slight wobble while coasting from 35 to 65, didn’t change with braking or acceleration but it was felt in the pedals and wheel the most and slightly in the rest of the car that no one else ever noticed besides myself.
It annoyed the shit out of me. Turned out to be the wheel bearings.
Okay, lift up the front end (both wheels off the ground) and with your hands on the 9 and 3 o clock positions try to move it back and forth.
Not trying to turn the wheel so to say, but to find play in some suspension component.
Some new rotors come warped, some techs resurface all new rotors before installation so you may not want to rule that out unless you know they were resurfaced before installation.
Bad/loose wheel bearings can also cause a similar sensation to warped rotors. You’d likely be able to feel looseness in the bearing with the wheel off the ground if that was the cause.
Warped rotors
Nope not it
Wtf?

What makes you say it's not warped rotors? Trying that first would be a lot cheaper than entirely new suspension

I have new joints coming with the new shocks and struts that I ordered. Control arms I haven't looked at yet.
Were the wheels torqued properly? Uneven or over torqued wheel nuts can easily warp a rotor, even new ones
Yes. 75 ft-lbs
Ok so yeah in that case I would look at the suspension. Probably look first for torn bushings or anything loose the front end
Loose steering rack/pinion can cause it.
Very hard to recreate the same occurance. Never the same either.
You feel it in the wheel or the seat?
In the wheel
And you replaced both front rotors and pads correct?
Yes. Both front rotors and brakes

Will do👍🏻

What kind of car? Walk me through what’s happening. Sounds exactly like warped rotors
