my car steering wobbles terrible when braking hard must be a warped disk. i was just wondering what is the best to buy or will any ones from my local parts shop do. should i replace pads when i put on new disks

[brianp87]

just checked the discs at my local sales eicher or pagid. the eichers are about £5 per disc cheaper

nothing wrong with original parts for brakes infact i would recommend them for such a heavy car
and allways replace in pairs with new pads

Very cheap on TC as well ... go for genuine VX  ..

a friend of mine his car, has started to do that, i am thinking it is with brake abuse as his nephew drives everywhere at 120mph and the abs ecu is faulty.

[brianp87]

yeah its usually heavy braking that does it

[beemerdevil]

ditto ..........new discs AND pads - vx parts should be ok.  I have fitted pattern parts in times gone past and lasted about 6 months - as the saying goes, 'you get what you pay for'

when you say change discs and pads in pairs you mean you can buy them single so just change one disc lol
 and i use gen parts to as with trade card amazing how cheap they are

Not a good idea mate - change discs and pads in axle sets (pairs) - use only genuine Vx for fronts - buy kit 2 x discs + 2 x pairs of pads around £80 on TC.  Pattern front discs wont last and will warp quickly!

just done same job yesterday, parts where just over £50, and arrived within 20 mins of placing order, half hour later they where on job done.
Not VX, but sold car very cheap due to high mileage, so they will do the job. car is sold and going tomorrow.
On better spec and mileage and priced cars, would use GM gear tho.

On my way now to pick up a set from 'stealers' - £92.45 inc.
Part no quoted is 93175466.

Any Vx dealer, get a trade card from ABS - £20 .. or pm andyc on the forum .. he is a parts manager and does TC prices .. but you have to pay postage obviously ..
