[DML] Re: Steering column vibration when braking

["daveswingle2" <swingle_dmc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The obvious omission to me is the bushings at the end of the sway bar. But I'll bet replacing the steering bushing will do wonders. Also check the u-joints in the lower steering column for slop. I've seen that in some surprisingly low-mile cars. 

It's also possible that new rotors are not cut straight. Stranger things have happened.
