Title: Vibration. Post by HelgeSD on Dec 22nd, 2005, 10:23pm Hello. My name is Helge, and I am from Norway. Today I bougth a 95 Scorpio 2.0. It has 150.000 km on the clock, a full sevice history and it is in a really good condition. And I bought it really cheap! I have only noticed one thing. When breaking from 60-70 kmph and above, the steering wheel vibrates. The vibration can also be felt in the pedal. It feels like the brake discs unbalanced. Are new brake discs the solution? Thanks. |

Title: Re: Vibration. Post by Snoopy on Dec 23rd, 2005, 8:19am Chesk the front Brake discs for warping , Quite easy to see with the wheels off and turning the disc. Also check the copndition of the front suspension bushes, Worn bushes can also cause vibration problems. |

Title: Re: Vibration. Post by mr._floppy on Dec 23rd, 2005, 4:03pm Yep, the discs will be the culprit , even if the outside side of the discs look shiny and rust free you can be sure the inboard side will be rust pitted and uneven ( take a look from under the front of the car with a strong torch). Easy to replace with a decent set costing only 40 GBP. |
