AlanM Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Fitted UK Spec brakes (Toyota ones ) 3 - 4 months ago. Over the last week have got symptoms similar to warped/cracked disk,kick back from pedal. It is not constant and varies in intensity quite a lot. Car does not pull to either side. Occurs when braking from all speeds unless pedal applied very firmly when it doesn't All disks approx the same tempperature Nothing visual (but not had proper look yet) Caliper bolts only checked by hand today, will check properly tomorrow Had front (only)wheels balanced, has made no difference Could a sticking piston cause these symptoms? Any other ideas welcome as very inconvenient to take disks off and send them for checking at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 A worn wheel bearing can feel like a warped disc under braking. Check if the wheels have any side to side play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 crap between disc and hub surface can also make the disc run out or as i had, warped hubs.not good either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham S Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 A wheel bearing will be more up and down rather than side to side, but to prove its the wheel bearing get someone to put their foot on the brake whilst wobbling the wheel and the free play should stop..
