Rocking motion when braking
Morning guys I wonder if anyone can help
Last April MOT a success advise to replace pitted front discs
After replacing front discs I began to notice a rocking motion while braking, my thoughts were I need to replace front calliper so now to match new discs, after then replacing most of the rubber around the front suspension, top and bottom ball joints I turned my attention to the rear replacing shoes and drums.
Resorted to removing my Porsche one cups and placing standard wheels but still the same.
Any ideas ?
Kindest regards Karl

Re: Rocking motion when braking
Just a thought but have you checked the front hub bearings to make sure that there is no excessive play?

Check runout of new discs
Re: Rocking motion when braking
Thanks guys for your replies I had installed new bearings when I fitted new discs, noticed that there are 2 different sizes ( found that out when I had already installed the larger ones) again new drums installed too, if I pull up on the handbrake I can't feel anything didn't know if the new disc are a bit shonky and should try and find a better more expensive set or if it could be the wishbone rubbers (only ones I haven't changed)

Call me thick if you like but I don't actually understand what you mean by rocking.
Is it rolling, pitching, grabbing, jerking from side to side and does the frequency seem to coincide with the wheel rotation? I would be interested in hearing an exact description.
