Corsa Steering Vibration under braking

My 2000 Corsa B has started to vibrate whilst braking from around 50 -



70(steering wheel shakes slightly). Im guessing the disks are warped as it has seen some quite heavy braking. Is it possible to measure run- out of the disks using a ruller or similar? If its not the disks what else could cause the problem?

Thanks

Likely the discs, but also check tyres/wheels and all balljoints/steering bits. The discs are cheap for these, so unless they are very recent change them anyway. It is a bit of a chore to check for runout, you need a dialgauge and suitable holding jig to make the job easy, it is possible but hard to check runout with feeler gauges.
