Title: Discs warped?
Post by km449 on Mar 16^th, 2006, 11:29am

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.
nice to come to a junction now without that bloody wobble,it was a pain in the butt.

cheers,
bob. :)

Had the same on mine,was down to tyre pressures,must have got a slow leak somewhere,had it fixed,30psi in each wobble gone.
