Vibration when braking at low speeds 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Ralph on  Mon Jul 24 17:50 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Well, like an idiot, I allowed my tires to get too worn. And, as you might expect, I hydroplaned a bit on a rainy day. Not too bad, but I did whang into the curb a bit. Bent the frame slightly, but I got it straightened. The car seems to drive just fine now, except...

Ever since I hit the curb, I'm experiencing a VERY strong vibration when braking at low speeds. I've had the rotors turned (they were nearly new) and new pads were put on the front (the pads were nearly new as well).

The frequency of the vibration remains constant regardless of speed. I tend to suspect that it might have something to do with the ABS going haywire, but I figure someone here probably has a better idea.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
-Ralph
