front fender shaking

[redneck diva]

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... :dontknow:

 

[Pennyrick]

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... :dontknow:

I agree

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.. :gaah:

FENDER SHAKE

:agree:......You or someone should try and move the fender by hand. I suspect this is the problem.......JMHO and others here .....Mike :thumbup:

if you come to new york i would be glad to look at it for you. but i also agree with the check bolts

 

[redneck diva]

awesome I will check bolts for looseness............. no other noticeable wiggle other than at hard braking,,,,,,,,,,,,,, no vibration at all though.

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

 

[redneck diva]

ok will do

 

[cuznjohn]

red please stop saying wiggle, i love this site and don't want to be banished forever

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

 

[redneck diva]

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
