I am having high speed vibration problems when I apply the breaks at about
50 mph and above, the front end shimmies like crazy. Once I release the
brake pedal, it goes away. Is this an idication of an alignment problem or a
break problem? Thanks for the help.

Rotor wrap?

My 94 Civic does this *sometimes*. Usually no issues, but eeeeevery so
often it gallops all over the lane when I brake. I replaced both of my
front rotors with brand new ones in late 2001, so I don't think it's
rotor warp, unless there is such a thing as transient rotor warp. Any
input, all?

sounds like a rotor warp

There was a post within the last few days with a link to a very
interesting article on rotor warp -- basically explaining that rotor
warp is generally not the cause of these pulsation problems. In fact,
he argues that rotor warp is fairly rare.

I'll look for the link in past messages. It was a thread about brakes
(though I think it was spelled breaks!).
 
I found the link.

Pretty interesting article.
 
i had a 1990 accord and it would drive fine but after about 4 or 5 miles of
driveing the grease in the cv joint would thin out and the bearings would
move and cause i vibration. so it could be the cv joint.

Just took my Accord 2003 V6 to the dealer for it's regularly scheduled
maintenance. At the same time I told them of the same vibration on the
brake pedal when braking at high speeds. Turned out to be exactly the
same rotor warp everyone else has been having in the 03 Accords.

Luckily they covered it under warranty because the brake pads had to
be replaced also.

Shouldn't Honda send out a recall notice? This could potentially be a
very dangerous flaw
