flukey-lukey Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Hi all, think I need a new pair of front discs on my '94 j-spec auto tt as I think they are warped due to hard braking... When driving normally they work fine, but when braking hard or from a speed above 60 they seem to grind and I get a very very slight wobbley feeling coming through the steering wheel!!?!?? My guess is the discs r warped, but hey i'm not a mechanic!! Any ideas? And if it is the discs that need replacing which would be best without spending crazy money? Cheers in advance, Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Luke, you'll get similar symptoms if one of your wheel bearings is worn, jack the car up and see if there's any side to side play of the wheel on the hub. If you do need new discs, your best bet would be to get a set of new replacement OEM discs from Toyota, or you could propably pick up some cheap second hand ones from a member, who has upgraded to the larger spec brakes.

flukey-lukey Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 cool, i'll check it out at the weekend when i'm not at work. What kinda price am I looking at for a wheel bearing or new OEM discs from toyota? I know they like to try and rip people off when it concerns young lads like me and nice cars! Barstewards!

Guest wackojacko Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I'll be interested into what you find on this. I have Exactly the same symtoms on my car !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Sounds more like the pads are nearly down to the backing plates to me. I have good used J-Spec discs in stock, and a few sets of fast road pads at the special offer price of 130 a full car set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
