    Post Front end shimmy on my 2014 RT

    I have a 2014 RTS, when I come to a stop sign or stop light and apply the breaks the front end shimmies, I think it may be the breaks, but I am not sure. I have 12,000 miles on it. What do you think??

    Could you have a piston hanging-up in those Brembos?

    Default Don't know..!!

    but worth having it chcked out. Have not seen brembos fail much and warped disks require great heat which these machines let you know if your ryding the brakes. Could be some other front end component. Check lugs, bearings, ball joints alignment etc...

    I had my brake pads replaced at 10,000 since they were shot. You ride more gently than I, but the dealer will no doubt check that. You should be in for your second maintenance any day now anyway
