Vibration through the steering wheel when you brake is a fairly common complaint, and it usually points to a specific issue within the braking system.
Common causes
- Warped or uneven brake discs
- Uneven pad wear
- A sticking calliper
- Wheel or tyre-related issues that coincide with braking
- Suspension component wear
Why disc condition is often involved
Vibration when braking and judder through the pedal are both listed among the potential symptoms of brake disc problems, alongside reduced braking performance and visible disc deterioration.
Getting it diagnosed
Because several different issues can cause similar vibration, a proper inspection is needed to establish the actual cause rather than assuming it's always the discs.
DB Autos can investigate steering or pedal vibration under braking. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
