So, i had a wobble when i was breaking. I've changed the discs and pads and also the control arm bushes.The car has 90k on it and i can still fee a slight vibration when breaking. Whats it's likely to be other than a wheel weight which i'm about to get checked this weekend? Are there any other bushes etc that need to be looked at?
thanks

If its just a dull humm then its the holes in the disc passing through the pads. Feels gritty under foot? Any other vibration should be checked out.

It's not that, it's just an ever so slight wobble and i'm assuming most people would not notice it but i like things to be how they came out of the factory hence wanting to get it sorted.
thanks

Maybe try stripping the front calipers. Could be a sticky piston.

Not doubting what you're feeling, but you're probably semi paranoid now and I have noticed the roads around me are so bad the car judders slightly whatever it is - makes it a bugger for diagnosing things!

Does it only happen when your braking?
