Hi guys,
Am getting increasing "wobble" through steering wheel now when braking slowly, with the wobble disappearing as soon as I brake harder.
Is this warped discs or something else?
What sort of costs are involved if it is discs (or the something else come to that!)
Thanks
Keith

Wear ( softness ) in the front wishbone rubber bushes sometimes cause steering wheel wobble on braking.
Is the wobble worst at high or low speeds ?

Definitely worse at high speeds. Moderate braking at town speeds isnt a problem but slowing down on a slip road coming off a motorway its very noticeable until I apply the brakes more firmly

it's the brake discs,had the same problem with mine,got some vented discs off ebay for £40,put them on and the problem has gone.

bob.
