Ive got a slight wheel wobble when i brake and its doing my head in! I thought it could be warped discs but ive changed Both Discs/Hubs very recently and it only does it when I slow down so its got to be the brakes right?


Wondered if anyone could shine any light onto it for me - Really need to get it on a ramp i'm just skint at the moment and my usual mechanic inbetween garages!

Thanks!

Assuming the wheels are not buckled, it's most likely to be a worn steering track rod end, or a worn suspension bush.

I recently had to change a badly worn track rod end on a Peugeot 306 that drove horribly, and it was only about £7 from GSF.

Thanks mate that could well be it! The wheels definately arent buckled cos that was a problem I had last year - turns out the OS one was buckled it had most likely been up a curb from previous owner as wishbone was bent too! Replaced both wheel and wishbone, made it mint for a bit now its a bit wobbly so track rod cud well be it! Cheers
