Vibe during braking

[nasir325ic]

My car goes in to a crazy vibe when I hit the brakes, I feel it more at aound 35 mph or more, wat do you think's the problem?

Thanks

Dunno could be pad transfer? That can make the discs feel warped
Had you been using the brakes hard previously?

[nasir325ic]

not really? I just drive the car normal, dont usually slam or hit the brakes hard.

Wat do you mean by pad transfer?

Pads seem about half worn

sounds like shagged disks mate... have it looked at, wont take someone 2 mins to tell you

If it's discs you'll feel it though the pedal, if it's through the wheel only look elsewhere, eg. ball joints / track rod ends.

but I doubt its that if you've not been braking hard, or often leave you foot on the brakes for long distances

yeh get your discs checked out. Or just sell it to me.

[nasir325ic]

the vibes on the steering, not on the pedal, discs i think are fine thou.

yeh as above...... if shaking when braking, you will feel it through pedal if not then i would suggest checking wishbone as mine was shaking at around 50mph and this was the problem

Was this wishbone problem expensive?

Something I learned from time in a race team.

If you use your brakes sufficient to get the discs hot, and then come to a halt & sit with your foot on the pedal (brakes applied), there is a build up of heat between the pads and the disc, while the rest of the disc radiates and disperses heat.
This causes the disc to warp. The severity of the warp is dependant on the amount of heat, duration of contact, etc but it IS evident.

Just think about it next time you stop at some traffic lights & can't be arsed to use the handbrake

Did you read the link above?
More likely to be pad transfer than actual warping, but the same effect at the end of the day!

Yes Robin, I read the post

Just thought it needed a bit of clarification is all
