1993 Mazda RX-7 — steering wheel shakes only under highway braking

Log the conditions before you spend. A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 1993 Mazda RX-7 is losing coolant with no puddle. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. On “7 — steering wheel shakes only under,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 1993 Mazda RX-7 in Cleveland. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. Parking it somewhere I can hear it better next time.

Intermittent stuff lies if you only catch it once. Loaded-suspension checks on the 1993 Mazda RX-7 catch play that a wheels-hanging inspection misses. Save the big job until that test fails.

I'd want a measurement, not a hunch. Two 1993 Mazda RX-7s can feel identical and have different causes, so measure before you copy someone else's repair. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. I'd sleep better after that step, even if it finds nothing. I'll poke at it this weekend.

Ask what changed right before it started. Capture voltage while the 1993 Mazda RX-7 is actually failing — after it restarts you've lost the clue. That's the branch I'd chase this week.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. Get a real battery/charging test on the 1993 Mazda RX-7, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. That's the branch I'd chase this week. No need to make it theatrical. Make the next action something you can finish this week. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.
