Vibrations in the brakes

Post by Rodolfo »

I have an 850 t5. It only has a problem: when the brakes are very hot, after driving in a very bending road, when you apply the brake at a very slow speed, f. ex., if yo arrive to a semaphorous closed, in the last seconds (from 20 mph to 0) the vibrations are so big that it looks at if it was to get disintegrated. Then you stop, wait five to ten minutes, the brakes get colder and then if you brake again, all vibrations dissappeared. I (naturally!) changed the discs and the brake pads front and rear, and all follows the same.
Has anyone experimented the same problem? Any solution?
Thank you

The vibration happens even after you changed rotors and pads? is the vibration felt in the steering wheel, pedal or seat? Or all of them? IF you replaced the rotors then this sounds like it may be an issue with a tie rod, worn bushings, etc.

What brand rotors and pads are you using?
