just a quick one... got a creaking and brake judder at low speed under braking and i suspect it's my tension rod bushes... just looked at them and the one making the noise is covered in what i would call grease...

 

Is that a good sign it's split!?... knackered!?... or are they greased up when fitted?? I'm guesing they should be dry??

 

Got some poly ones on order.... much of a job to change???

Their knackered, never changed not sure.

that will be the silicon inside the bush, so yes its leaking and buggered change as soon as poss :D That will defo give you those symptoms btw.

 

easy to change.

Thanks for confirming.... as soon as they arive they're goin on!! Cheers!!!

i woul recommend tein adjustable tensioners , ull be surpraised in the difference ....

Hi.. noise seems to have gone now... but i've now got a massive judder as i brake from speed.. say 20mph and up. braking at about 70/80 and the front end feels like it's gonna fall off!

 

Work done so far..

 

Skimmed disc's

New pads

New shim kit

New braided hoses

Caliper overhaul kit(think that's what cured the creakin noise)

Poly tension bushes

New brake fluid

 

Any sugestions greatfully recieved... not sure where to look next!

 

Thanks in advance!

I had this even after getting the discs skimmed but only cured it by replacing them. If you can feel any pulsing at all when driving slowly and braking gently then one at least has not been skimmed true. You can pick up stock discs for less than £80 a pair so not a lot of point in skimming them these days. Did you have all 8 pistons out to check them?
