 front fender shaking
has anyone ever had one of their front fenders do a very noticeable shake when applying brake pretty heavy.............. no steering issues or vibration issues to be felt but when applying brake hard,,,,,,,,,,, left fender is stationary but right fender shakes very noticeable .

My guess: You've got some mounting bolts, that could use some attention from the proper wrench...

I'd say either the bolts are loose or you have a warped brake disc.

I would have also thought that the rotor was a possibility, but she said that there was no vibration...

As I see it..!!
with all the lighting work done I would start with checking the mounting of the fender. Does the fender wiggle at any other time..?? abs kicking in should make both sides do the same and bend disc would be felt as a lobbing in the pedal..

If these suggestions do not turn out to be the problem, check your A-Arm bushings.

I agree. My fender would move with my hand and the problem was a worn A-Arm bushing.

Took mine by the shop today for this very same problem except it was the left fender and there was no rhyme or reason to when it would vibrate. Hopefully the extended warranty will cover this repair

all fender bolts seem to be in order & no loose feel on the fender,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, just vibrates (NOT WIGGLES) hahaha very bad under hard braking, other than that you never see or feel it at all.

Disc brake gunk or warped. Possible tire balance

Can also be worn A-Arm bushing(s) as mentioned above.

That was my thought. I had a similar issue on the right side fender. I could move it by hand when I checked it and turns out I had some worn bushings in the A-Arm.

I just went thru this issue while on vacation, went to the dealer in Utah to have it checked, it was a warped rotor, fortunately this was under warranty

Front fender shaking
Hi I also have experienced front fenders shaking but not when braking. Mine sometimes shake when going down the road. I don't have alignment problems and the rt se5 doesn't vibrate anywhere else just the front fenders.

If there are no vibrations I would check the fender bracket bolts ASAP .......Mike

You need to look very close at this as mine and several others have cracked the tubing that is the bracket the tubing is very thin and vibrations cracked it

Fender Shake
Replace my rotors and brakes and the shake is gone. Ordered the rotors and brakes from Bajaron worked great.
