Just today, the car has started vibrating quite badly when braking. The sort of vibration I get is the sort when your wheels are out of balance, but worse. Its ok when driving so the wheel balance is ok, just when braking.
I fitted new discs and pads on the front as they were quite worn. But that was a month a go and it's been fine up until today.
Not done the rear yet as they weren't worn as much. But I remember reading that most of the braking was done by the front anyway.
What's the first thing to check? I'm going to check nothing has worked loose, but apart from that? Any way to tell if its the front or rear and which side??
Oh and probably not connected, but I'll mention it just in case: Some serious tramlining today. Towing a trailer and moving from the centre lane to the inside lane on the M56 and you'd have thought a gale had hit the car. It was all over the place. Quite frightening actually. I know tramlining is normal on 18" wheels. But this was bad. Shocks worn? Clutching at straws there really...
tnx!
