b1g_dav3 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Right folks, noticed lately I get quite a strong vibration through the steering wheel when breaking, anyone got any ideas what now is falling apart on my car? Thanks :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Sounds like unevenly worn pads or warped discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 The warping was my thought, though I'd have hoped a set of disks would have lasted longer... Never had stuff wear out so fast on a car if honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Not necessarily wear. A difference of a couple of millimetres movement on a discs rotation is noticeable far and above what you would think. Tbh I'd check the pads for even wear first and if they look ok then I'd get the discs read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Well if I need new disks, I need new pads; so may as well replace the pads to start with before looking for disks. Annoyingly I don't ever break hard lol, I always change down through gears when approaching a red light or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
