mine does this whats the cause

well, if you get this when you press your brakes then it could be the rears.

do you only feel it through the brake pedal when pressing the brakes, or through the wheel as well?

worse at high speeds?

did you give your new pads and discs time to run in (ie go easy on them for a while)

mine used to vibrate a fair bit but went after a while, could just be a bumpy brake pad that needs wearing down a little

strange one that!

i would check the rear brakes as a precaution, jack up the back of the car and put the handbrake on slightly. spin the back wheels and see if there is any signs of one of the rear drums going oval. you will feel and hear it as the shoe will touch against the drum unevenly.

only vibrating on pedal. when foot is slightly resting on pedal and when you brake fully . there is no movement at all on steering wheel. can also feel slight vibe when resting foot on clutch. everyone completely baffled:boggle:

spigots?
wheels not tightened properly?
warped discs?

my opinion.

What disks are they though?

The things I would say it is are warped disks, wheels out of balence, tracking out or bent wheels.

posted on 16th Feb 06 at 14:57
