brakes made from jelly?

Featured Replies

need help people!

i am having problems with my vrs.

the main one being my steering wheel wobbling at around 40mph whilst braking lightly.

my first thoughts were, ar brake discs must be warped, but the strange thing is it only does it when the car is in neutrul and rolling. it doesnt wobble when its in gear rolling.

any ideas:confused:

wheels out of balance??

nope the wheels have been balanced twice at two different garages, i would think if it were the wheels it would wobble all the time though? got it booked in at a local stealer on thurday to let them have a look.

Why would you be in neutral at 40mph?

cos thats the ony way i can get it to wobble alot, it wobbles most of the time when braking, just more when out of gear.

i dont make a habbit of freewheeling much :rolleyes:

Fair enough :) I didn't really intend my first post to be something so useless (long-time lurker).

I thought my brakes were made of jelly, but they were just a trifle spongey.

Take it to local MOT garage and ask tester to do a brake test. He will apply brakes very slowly and harder and if the discs are warped the indictors will flicker to show. Bung the bloke a £5 for testing them then take car home and fit new discs and pads if needed.
