Had the front wheels balanced and it went away. This was when I first got the BA about June last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New rotors help, new pads help, as does wheel alignment, as does balancing - but I find regardless of what you do (which never completely fixes it), a very short time later the vibration returns. I think its one of those things to "put up with", as it will drive people mad otherwise! Edited 18/04/11 06:17 AM by CBXRT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBXRT Banned 643 Member For: 14y 3m 8d Gender: Male Posted 18/04/11 11:16 PM Share Posted 18/04/11 11:16 PM I think the brake booster is just one of many potential issues with BA braking and vibration. The BA had its inherent design faults, some (not all) were fixed in the BA Mark 2 and BF. What might fix it one time is not the fix the next time and so on.....

Mine isn't terrible, more a constant nuisance that chews my tyres if I don't get regular alignments.....Your brembos should be a massive upgrade though - nice work!

ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 17y 1m Posted 26/04/11 10:01 AM Share Posted 26/04/11 10:01 AM If it happens whilst your just driving along at 80 to 100kmh for a while,I dare say your brake booster is at fault. If all the usuall checks have been done such as wheel balance,tyres and rims spin true and arent buckled etc then look towards this. A car shouldnt just start to have a monsterous shake at 90kmh for no reason and it sure isnt considered normal and something to put up with. Try this,when the vibration starts to happen pretty bad,pull over gently and try push the car in neutral. If its hard to move,then it most likely is due to your brakes sticking on. Best thing to do is pull over gently,jack one front corner of the car up and try spin the wheel. If its tight,then as above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
