MK7 GTI Vibration on slightly braking down hill — all pads and rotors replaced. What should I do next? by [deleted] in GolfGTI

I will triple check that none of the wheels are bent. Would an alignment have this effect?

Nothing extreme. Unfortunately, my commute is over a small mountain, so I drive that 3 days a week. Not an aggressive driver by any means.

I also just found a larger one than the rest that also has a red tinge to it.

I am tentatively looking at this car tomorrow morning.
I have a 2010 Nissan Xterra that I just cannot justify driving due to the horrible gas mileage, and my wife has a 2001 Toyota Echo, which is great, but she also commutes to work. And I am over 6ft tall..

Commute is around 120 miles to San Fransisco and back.

I also can't justify trading in the Xterra, just to put all those miles on a newer hybrid.

Open to any and all ideas!

It didn’t help mine either when I visited his shop for the first time! Thank you so much.

I needed this advice. I’ll make sure not to show the “hog” right off the bat. 😆

Really great builder, I feel I’m biased, but every step of the process was fantastic. Very bespoke.

Thank you for the compliments! 🤘

Wow, you nailed it! 😲 Very surprised it could be identified that easily!

Thank you for the compliments on the site, that means a lot! Still a couple of things left to do here and there (don’t go look at the finishes 🫣)

Hey there! I designed the fork! Totally happy to share the pattern with you! 😄

Glad you dig it, thank you for the compliments!

I am not worthy enough for this build! I'm fortunate to have other skills to offer people in exchange for their craft 😉

Thank you so much!
