Brake Vibration

June 30, 2004

Hi all,

I've noticed that after a period of hard braking or high-speed braking there is a lot of vibration from the front-left. Any known issues with a 99 avensis 2.0td regarding the front discs or anything?

Also any guesses as to the root cause welcome!

Thanks

Hi,

I have a 2001 Avensis and have had the front disks skimmed at approx 15K and replaced at 30K. Have heard they're a bit heavy on front disks... and I don't drive like a mad man! So, if the problem occurs only while breaking (once the disks have heated up / whatever) then it probably is just warped disks.

Thanks.

does the wobble come through the steering wheel to your hands , if so check that side caliper isnt sticking before you replace the discs , also replace the pads when and if you do replace the discs

Thanks for the replies.

If I am doing above 60mph and brake hard, the steering wheel wobbles alright. I don't think the caliper is sticking, but can't be sure, whats the best way to check?
