Shaking when braking...

[djshongo]

whenever i brake in the car it starts to shake...i thought it might be the balancing of the wheels or something like that, but the fella in the garage said its something to do with the brakes..?? :?
it shouldnt be, because i just installed new discs and pads bout a month ago.. :(
Any ideas lads?
thanks

warped discs

Did it do it as soon as you fit new discs n pads?
If it did there could be dirt or something preventing the discs from sitting flush on the hub,they must be COMPLETELY flush on the hubs.
Also if your calipers are seized one or two hard presses of the brake while not moving will warp the discs.
If it ONLY happens when braking its your discs,either warped or not fit flush.
Try a mates wheels that you know dont wobble to eliminate your wheels.

after you fitted your new brakes, if u put them on, then braked sharply or used them hard and alot then you will of warped them as the pads havent had time to get the shape of the disc propperly. if u have been braking sharply then it'll be warped discs.

Def sounds like warped discs, just have a look and see if new discs have actully been fitted!!!
