Hiya,

 

Looks like i have warped discs on the front....getting a sh@tload of judder when braking over 50....anyone got any recommendations for front discs/pads?? Prices??

 

Its a 91 TT UK.

 

Cheers people.

 

DAN :cool:

Have a gander at the parts I'm selling in the For Sale section bud. Got a set of brand new Porterfields going begging...also have some discs but they might be sold with the stock calipers.

 

Cheers,

 

Leigh.

will take a butchers mate cheers....standard replacement for the TT are they? Good nick?

sorry would help if i read.....are the discs in good nick tho....new/used??

Disks have been used on the car (they're still on there ATM! :)). Their condition ain't bad but could benefit from a skim.

 

Cheers,

If you're getting vibes over 50mph then it may not be warped discs, that would cause a sort of pulsing effect when you've braking gently at low speed. Vibes when braking at higher speeds are often caused by worn bushes on the tie rods.

Really? Hmmmm....apparently the joint on me steering is worn....so u can turn the steering but nothing happens at first....perhaps that may be in as well?

 

how much are these bushes on the tie rods mate? Big job?

Are you sure they're warped?

 

There was a big discussion on the GTROC about this and we got some input from AP. On some occasions people thought there disks were warped because of the shuddering but it turned out not to be the case. Apparently when the brekes get very hot and you start colling down they attract very small particles on the disks which then deposit themselves in such a way as to make it feel like warped disks. The only way to cure it is get the brakes really hot again and try to let them cool without having to brake inbetween. i.e. a few very fast laps and straight in.

 

Having had disks warp in the past and having experienced this before I did find some of what AP said to be true. For example I've had supposedly warped disks (due to shudering) suddenly clear themselves after following APs advice.

 

- Just a thought

tnx mate i will give it a go!
