why does my Volvo XC60 536 (2017-Present) shake when I brake

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Park the vehicle on a flat surface and engage the parking brake.
• Place wheel chocks behind the rear wheels.

2. Remove Wheel

• Loosen the lug nuts using a lug wrench, but do not remove them completely.
• Raise the vehicle using a hydraulic jack and support it with jack stands.
• Remove the lug nuts and take off the wheel.

3. Inspect and Replace Brake Components

A. Brake Rotor Inspection

• Check the brake rotor surface for warping or scoring.
• If warped, replace the brake rotors with OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts.

B. Brake Pad Inspection

• Inspect brake pads for uneven wear or damage.
• Replace pads if they are worn unevenly or below the manufacturer's minimum thickness.

4. Reassemble Components

• Install new brake rotors and pads, ensuring proper orientation.
• Reassemble the wheel and hand-tighten the lug nuts.
• Lower the vehicle and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer's specifications (typically around 80-100 ft-lbs).

5. Test Drive

• After reassembly, perform a test drive to ensure the issue is resolved.
• Check for any abnormal noise or vibration during braking.
