Default Car shaking A4 2002 3 liters

I just want to know if it's normal that my car shake when you drive at 140 Kms/hr and you put suddenly the brake?

The car shake a little bit.(Is it a disk problem?)

Let me know if someone try it. I have 17 inches 5 spokes wheels and brand new conti contact two at 32 PSI.

The ABS was'nt active when I only push the brake at this high speed. None of the wheels stop to turned. The ABS begin to worked when one wheel has the tendency to stop. I did'nt suspect the ABS system. I did'nt suspect also the aligment of the wheels because the car stay stable(straight line).

Let me know what you think!

Default Warped rotors or an out of...

...balance harmonic that only show up at higher speed. You might want to try an on car wheel balance for both the fronts. I had the same situation in a Honda. Rebuilt the brakes, cleaned the guide pins and replaced the keeper springs to reduce binding, and went back to stock pads (are you using race pads?). Got rid of the last shimmy by having the fronts balanced while attached to the car.
