Shaking while braking -3rd gen

Hello all,

So for the past year I’ve been chasing a back and forth judder while braking. Replaced all brakes, got an alignment and have new tires/balanced (were needed)

Between reading and what not, I was advised to replace the front lower control arms. However, while testing with the wheels off, there is no play, bushings also look fine.

Im kinda lost, but just realized the parking brake is engaging on one side only, could this be the issue? The car is a 2015 lx btw. It’s been a peach other than this issue of late.

Thanks in advance

My 2015 EX had the same issue, it happened after I took it to have it serviced and they let gravel into the brake rotor. It scoured the rotor and now I have shaking when I brake. Check the rotors...

Thanks for the comment. Front rotors look good, haven’t taken the back apart yet.

i ordered the parking brake line for the side that’s not engaging. Will replace soon and report back.

That is what I think happened as it made a horrible grinding sound and by the time I figured it out, I think it warped. Dealer cleaned it out but didn't replace rotor as "it looked ok"...
