right I'm having a problem with my brakes.
when driving and braking from say around 60 mpg my steering wheel and brake peddle vibrate. can feel it when going slower but isn't as noticeable. it doesn't happen when accelerating hard.
when i bought the car in December i had new front discs and pads fitted. it was fine for a few months then the vibrating start and got progressively worse.
thinking it the last thing it would be is the discs and pads i started trouble shooting on possible things....
- taken the callipers off and check to make sure the pistons move freely as should yep all looked fine
- my rear discs and pads was low so thought i would replace them with genuine parts. nope didnt fix it
- front control arm bush looked quite worn, so replace all the front control arm bushes with energy suspension bushs with no effect to the problem
with all of them seeming okay i thought its got to be a discs.. so i replaced the discs with genuine honda. this fixed the problem. maybe warped discs? but i don't get why or how because I've not done any track days or anything with major braking..
well so i thought it fixed the problem, its happening again! but started a lot quicker then last time!
im stumped. any thoughts on my problem. i don't want to really buy another set of discs!
