Xantia - Vibration on braking

Jul 02, 2004 2 Replies

Hi fella's



First the good news - I don't know if you remember but I asked about a rear wheel bearing a few weeks ago - and low and behold I actually managed to change it myself :), total cost £33 for the part and about 3 hours of my time. A bit cheaper than the £210 my local independant garage wanted.



Now - on to the next problem :(



I have found that when braking from motorway speeds (70 - 80mph) I can hear a grinding or vibration from the front wheels. This does not happen when braking from less that 50mph so I would not have thought it was the front pads, although I have not pulled of the front wheel and checked these. There is not any steering wobble or anything.



Any ideas?


Oops - should add 1994 M reg 2.0i with ABS

More than likely warped front discs. they sufer from them more than other cars due to the handbrake being on the front wheels :(
