ManwithSupra Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Ok had a search on here about this but it does not seem really close to what my symmptons are... The Car is a Jspec but with UK brakes. Basicly i am getting vibration in the car when i drive over 60mph, along with this is when i am braking i get a slight brake wobble and then when the car slows down to say 20mph i can feel a pulsing on the brakes. It cant be warped brake discs as they are uk spec and Chris wilson apparantly has never heard of warped discs on UK spec discs. Also on cirtain roads when i am going about 30mph i hear a very loud whine or Woooo sound (im am trying to get a sound clip which i will post up when i get a good sound) but this is also pulsing...its like a costant "wooo" sound but with louder shorter "WOOO's" in it.... bit like WoooWOooWOoooWOoooWOooo and it slows down with the speed of the car. I am getting a runout gauge and yet to test this but i have put it down to the fact one or more of my wheel bearings are failing, however to counteract that i went to a garage and they said there is no play in the wheels?? I have Steel Spiggot rings on my aftermarket wheels and the nuts are done up to spec?? Does anyone else come to the conclusion that it may be the bearings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I have heard of and seen warped UK brakes, but it's uncommon in normal usage. Is there any play in the hub bearings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Sounds like warped discs and wheel bearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealth Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Defo sounds like Warped Discs or Wheel Bearings but you couldn't rule out that your wheels need rebalancing, maybe a weight came off or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there does not seem any play in them - which baffels me although i am going to check again on sat to double double check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is what i thought but i have checked to see if any weights have come off and i cant see any sign of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 A decent tyre fitter will balance all your wheels and check your runout for you for a small cost. Might as well get it done, just because you can't see anything doesn't mean it hasn't happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
