    Default Vibration that won't go away

    My 2008 Nissan Versa with around 130KM has a vibration under breaking that won't go away. I have recently replaced all for tires(@ubanx) a couple months ago, replaced the breaks front and back(twice this year trying to stop this), replaced both control arms, replaced both swaybar end links, and bushings look good. I narrowed it down to the rear now, because when I pull the e-break I feel the vibration. What might be causing this?

    Wheel bearings can cause a vibration. But usually are also accompanied by a whining, whirring or growling noise.

    And it seems that you have gone down the list of everything else...haha...

    I mind as well order some of those too, anything else?
    I would just buy a new car, but I want to give this to my daughter so it stays and gets fixed properly.

    define what "fixing breaks" means

    Did you:
    - replace the (4) rotors?
    - turn the (4) rotors
    - measure the axial runout of the rotors? (or have tech give you the readout)

    for eg. I redid all the rotors on my Honda. When I installed the new ones, one of the rotors measured out of manufacturer recommended run-out - this was caused by a high spot on the hub which I sanded down (corrosion buildup) and was creating a wobble (>0.004" I believe) .... and would created vibration under braking had it not been addressed.

    Replaced pads and shoes once and new rotors and new drums(yes drums) twice

    Dial gauge the hubs for runout. Could be corrosion, as mentioned, or the hubs themselves may be out of round

    Make sure the hub is really clean from corrosion, dirt as mentioned. I use a drill with a wire brush attachment and clean the shit out of the hub when I change rotors.

    Check both side inner and outer tie rods, play in the balll joint will cause vibration depending on how bad it is.

    New drums aren't always true out of box. Especially aftermarket drums. I've had to machine many "new" drums to get rid of vibrations. This also aligns with your complaint.

    Get the drums turned, sand down the shoes and give'r!

    I think that's the winner! I just jacked it up and spin both wheels and the passenger side drum the rubs the shoes every revolution.

    Did you take the car originally to Canadian Tire by chance ?

    Oh man I hope you kept all the original parts of stuff you changed. I'd be pretty choked at replacing all that stuff only to find out it none of it was causing the problem.

    And Arif, you're still alive!

    Add a dial indicator to your tool collection then. Almost anything rotating can be checked that way (instead of swapping parts).
