Afternoon all,

 

Seeing if there are any common issues with the symptoms stated below:

 

When braking (straight line and wheels turned) i have a feedback coming through the steering wheel. I'd describe it as a 'warped disc' feeling, i.e. the wheel judders but not violently. It's highlighted further when braking on a corner (obviously don't do this, just tried for fault diagnosis).

 

I know it's not warped discs, and realistically this never happens, but have had a DTI on them and they're running true.

 

Areas I've inspected briefly whilst it was jacked up:

Wheel bearings - no movement or untoward noises.

Calipers - tight as should be, check torqued.

Pads - even wear with no high or low spots etc.

Discs - no warping, lips or cracks etc.

 

Any help or advice is great before i start replacing or looking in the wrong area.

 

Cheers.

Hi JamieP86,

 

I would look at the lower front suspension arms and the bush at the rear of this arm.

The front track control arm, rear bush can split and then move under braking.

This can result in the steering wheel kicking/moving when you brake.

Is it worse turning one way than the other?

 

Thanks AGFalco

No question mark?

It's worse when turning left and braking, which is indicative of something on the right hand side being worn.

 

 

Hi JamieP86,

 

I would look at the bushes.

If they are the ones I am thinking of they perish.

You need to look at them from under the car and behind them.

See this thread for more info:-

Look at the picture in the last reply on page one, and the pictures towards the end of page three.

 

Thanks AG Falco.
