Shuddering brakes/wheels after 70+ mph motorway cruise
Lee_e replied to Lee_e's topic in mkiv Technical
Cant see if the wheel weights have fallen off ( lack of light), it only does it after i apply the brake's. sometimes its fine going over 70, but as soon as i touch the brake it goes mental , so to speak.. -
Shuddering brakes/wheels after 70+ mph motorway cruise

Mmmm my thoughts exactly, im off tomorrow so ill see what happens. Thanks for the help fellas, much appreciated. -
Okey Cokey boys and girls .... Tough one to explain so bear with me.. For the last few months after thinking my pads/discs need re-newing due to juddering under braking, im thinking its something more serious... When i go above 70mph (private road of course ) i seem to get what i can only describe as unbalanced wheel feel, if you get me..slight judder but nothing too bad... But when i increase speed it seems to get a little worse the quicker i go. Even after me decreasing speed down to say 40-50mph i can feel it shuddering pretty hard and braking for say a roundabout it gets pretty savage, to the point where i feel i can only just control the braking distance This carries on untill i get home, get out and touch all the alloys and check tyres and wheel nuts are done up tight etc and i found the drivers side front is almost too hot to touch ... on the alloy its self not the tyre !! ... The passenger front is warm but no where near as hot as the drivers side , both rears where pretty much cold. Now to me this sounds like either a sticky caliper/warped disc or wheel bearing ... What do we all think ? Any help would be an awesome bonus as im thinking to take it to see dude at afr tomoz morning and see what he makes of it all. cheers guys

cheers chris, will be in touch very soon

mmm i seem to be getting a rather large amount of juddering when applying the brake's after high speeds, do we think its possibly warped discs ? if so chris can you PM me....... a price for stock discs (if you do them) and CW pads for front and rear Would be very much appreciated p.s. sorry for thread stealing

Have been a life long chelsea supporter and i can honestly say i have never seen a worse performance than that !! we didnt even look like we wanted to score... great credit to sunderland though, they pushed hard untill the 94th minute but still... maybe the players have just showed ancelotti and co about how there feeling about sacking ray wilkins.. pointless. Very Pee'd off at the moment, waste of an afternoon.

Do we have a picture of this fitted ? if so ( and i like the look) i may be interested :-)
-
To be honest I'm sure MP will grow on alot of us and slowly get better... (I HOPE)........ from playing it quite a bit for the last few days , Has anyone noticed the Spawn System seems to be pretty Screwed up ?? I will kill someone and then 2 seconds later hes behind me !!! that is the one thing that's stopping me liking this game, still think MW2 has the edge though.

happened to me a few times aswell... got very annoyed and took it to my local garage and they just put new clips on and all is well now might be worth investing in some new clips/tighteners and go from there, they also suggested about beeding the lip for more grip on the pipes etc but to be honest it was tooo much hassle.

sold to me this morning sorry dude
-
£15 including delivery ? theres a new one on ebay for £20 hows the fitment and how does it attach ?
-
Hey dude Dont have any standard and good condition jspec discs about do you ? cheers

Got this finally in the afternoon, was awesome for the first 2 hours untill i downloaded the "patch" onto my 360 then...... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now i cant tell you how pissed off i am ... game freezes every 30 seconds, is virtually unplayable, i hope they fix this issue soon as i loved all the fallout games..... Does make you wonder though... why did they release it if its clearly not ready ?? really grinds my gears when they do that.

Gorgeous mate... Sorry to thread steal but im going to get my sup's geo done next month and i want it done at WIM.. Would you be able to PM me how much the full geo set up was ? ... obviously it sort of depends on how much work needs doing but to get a rough idea would be great . cheers dude
-
going to be awesome this... does anybody know if tesco's are shelving it at midnight?? Or is it all store depending type stuff, i know for a fact my local "BIG" tesco's probably wont as they are lazy and completely pig headed, might be worth a late night burst to find out though
-
I bought mine from these dude's , To be fair it was only going to be temporary until i could get more money together to get a decent one with decent gauges.... but after seeing the end product and fitment, its now been on my car over 1 year definitely worth the purchase IMHO possibly one of the few good things to come from ebay. hope this helps

I smoked my new clear lenses and forgot to put new red bulbs in and my friendly MOT man advised me it would of failed if he hadn't of put black tape on them ... he said they have to be red... but hes old so not sure if hes clued up or not lol

Not sure on the paint stripper bit.... but IIRC i got my refurb kit from Mr T , not too expensive and came within 1 day of ordering it. Think it was just over £100 for both sides but i needed a new piston and you probably will not need this. good luck
-
!!!! Why could this not come 2 or 3 months down the line when i will be in the money !!!! Hate not having money Should sell by tomorrow afternoon at that price...

Also interested in the police and funny enough being a car mechanic..... but thats for another time... Currently working as a Sous Chef ( 2nd in charge of the whole kitchen brigade) for those of you who didnt know that At The Cisswood House Hotel 4* 2 roset. To be perfectly honest i wish i never got into cooking, Doesnt pay off, Shifts are sh!tty, and iv just lost all passion for food, and not to mention lost all my friends due to working almost every weekend.... Has its perks though... get to eat what i want , when i want ( always good) and i guess to see people eating something i have produced/cooked and for them to compliment it , always brings a smile to my face. Been a chef for 6 years now and at the age of only 22 years young, am wondering if a career change might be in order... if only i didnt have so many bills !! Who's Next ??

I know this car !! although it has changed slightly over a few months... Guy called Phil used to own it at SPC (sussex performance centre ) in horsham, used to go in and look at it sometimes, very nice guy and knew everything about anything to do with supra's so i doubt very much if he's done anything bodge/dodgey on it. id say that you couldnt get a better looked after car or a car thats owner had the knowledge, if you tried a hundred times. I beleive he sold it due to SPC going out of buisness. sad times Definatley worth a look but im pretty sure if you go to see it and dont take the cash, you will be gutted you had to make 2 journeys lol good luck though ... sure it will be a winner. p.s. i am in no way related / know of phil selling this car , hes just a nice guy and done me lots of favours in the past with my sup :-)

eibach or tein springs on stock/bilsteins is a good set up i have this and works a treat for me. best place to source them is either whifbitz(not sure if they sell them) ebay or any other reputable seller on here im currently on 19's and there's no rubbing, although the ride is pretty harsh with low profiles.

Awesome.. cheers dude
