Wobbling steering

Post by Swalesy » Tue May 28, 2013 5:43 pm

Hi everyone,

When I'm braking from high speed it feels like brakes are making my steering wobble is this normal or are the brakes warped? It doesn't do it at low speed!

Thanks Chris :S: :S:

Could be one or more things...are the wheels balanced? Wheel nuts all torqued down? Pads shot? Discs knackered? Is the steering wheel bolted down tight?

Could be lots of other reasons but I'd check those first.
If it ticks over...leave it

Is it a wobble or pulling to one side? May be a sticky caliper?
