Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] steering shaking when braking ?

could it be due to the ball joint? its more when turning into a bend and braking, if its due to a sticky caliper u can normally smell the burning, or it won't roll on a slight hill, had a couple of mr2's with rear sticking calipers so i kind of know if its tht.
