What could be wrong with my steering when it shakes reel bad when I change lanes to the right. I have a 87 w/ power steering and bump steer. My steering also shakes when braking above 65 mph. Could it be warped rotors? Thanks. [patriot]

check:
balance
alignment
worn parts

if you arent shaking under 65 and arent breaking when it shakes changing lanes its not the rotors

Check your front tires and see if they are wearing un evenly. Next I would put the car on a lift and check for play in the front suspension. If everything checks out then I would have your tires balanced.

As far as the braking goes, it sounds like your rotors are warped.

rotors don't warp.
