braking problem
when i brake the steering wheel shakes violently and the whole car wobbles. i reckon i need to change the pads on the back but they passed the MOT the other day. should i just change the pads anyway and see if it stops? i think its just the rear ones that are the problem, they are RS2000 brakes setup, the front is a cossie setup.
cheers peeps

right ok. how much do the rs2000 discs cost? i might get some new pads first see if that cures it, if not will definately get some new discs.

pads wear down to face of the disc's if there was any think on the pad it would wear off, when the disc warps it because the disc's get's to hot and when metal get's hot it change's shape and metal never go's back to it's original shape

if your steering wheel shakes violently under braking then id suggest looking at the front brakes first. ive never come across a warped rear disc causing the steering to shake? although stranger things have happened

Warped discs would indeed shudder through the steering wheel, issues with the pads would be a smooth feeling, your discs will most likely be the cause.
