[QUOTE="oscar, post: 166780, member: 2757"] yeah anthony that seems to be the most common problem of damaged discs. some garages are too lazy to check the current discs the correct way, and will just look for scoring etc and may notice the pads are very worn and and will just change the pads over without touching or measuring the discs :) the rule of thumb is that if you feel it through your steering wheel, then it's something directly linked to your wheel hub which could include suspension > braking system > steering as this is all connected to the hub. but with the pulsation that mattheo (i can never remember names lol) is feeling, it sounds like it's pulsating at a certain frequency and varying with speed which indicates a rotating item. the pulsations are the high points from the brake disc warping slightly, the slower the car comes the slower the vibrations will get so on so forth i'll get an how to - using a Dial Test Indicator to check your brake discs, thread up next week or therabouts guys incase anyone wants to buy one for future purposes to save some $£$£ in garage labour. they don't cost very much [/QUOTE]
