checkers88 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I just seem to be throwing money at my car recently. One of the issues I'm having is steering wobble/vibration under braking. It's only really evident above 50mph but say coming off a slip road on the motorway at 70mph the steering wobble is awful feels like the wheels are wonky or something. My first assumption was warped discs, about 60 miles of driving ago I had the front and rear pads changed for brand new Brembo ones and it seems to worse since the garage fitted them (it wobbled a bit before fitting them too). Is there anything else besides warping that could be causing it to do that? Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Unevenly torqued wheel nuts I've found causes this, rather than driving style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's it, they were put back on at the suggested 90lbft of torque Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Assuming that it is not a wheel balance problem, then it will probably be a DTV issue. Get it checked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 You have just told us you have 30mm spacers on the car: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/108016-serious-handling-issues-help/#entry1617748 Try the car without them for starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veilside z Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Yes try the spacers issue first, if the discs are warped after checking you could have them skimmed, balancing a possibility, rear wheels put on front? If the steering wheel is wobbling at different speeds without touching the brakes this points to the wheel weighting. Please keep us informed with your findings and hope you get this resolved.
