I have an intermittent fault where I get vibrations through the steering while breaking. Doesn't happen the first few times I use the brakes but only when they are warmed up a little or when slowing down from speed. Also doesn't happen under acceleration or cornering etc. Feels like a badly balanced wheel when it happens and is very noticeable.In my limited knowledge I would assume it warped front brake disks  |

Lol take the pads out and clean them up refit with plenty of copper grease. Also make sure the sliders are nice and free. If that makes no difference then it's warped discs. ________________________________________ Black power baby!

Check that there is no rust on the mating surface between the disc and hub, can push discs 'skew and give feedback under braking |
