Vibration While Braking

[scaredyet]

So I've had a bit of issues I've been sorting on the car. I fix one then another pops up.

The latest one is a vibration/pulsation when applying the brakes.

I changed both front hubs as the left hub had it. Now when I brake I feel a vibration in the steering. Could it be that the warn out bearing on the left hub damaged or warped the left rake rotor and now that the hubs are good I can feel it.

I didn't have that before. Or could the hubs be the issue. They are Machter branded.

How can I test or check what's causing the issue?

Do I need a wheel alignment after changing the hubs?

.................

first check?
both hub and rotor runout (as I did yesterday with my new front rotors)

The hubs are fixed and while Machter isn't the highest of quality your issue will 99.9% of the time be rotor run out. Bad hubs won't just cause braking issues, there will be a soiree of symptoms

A buckled rim can also show up as warped rotor symptoms under braking, or rather, be accentuated when ignorable in normal driving.

i replaced the vz drivers side bearing around 8 years ago, left side is still original but when i put the wheels back on i do them up in 3 stages using the torque wrench 100 125 130 nm because of the floating disc and i got that info on here years ago just done the brakes on both cars and there fine

Where do I buy that contraption

dial indicator (and attaching stand)?... any good tool shop say like
Total Tools, Tool Warehouse, Toolstore etc.. and FleaBay of course but
don't recall seeing them at Bunnings (but did buy my set many moons ago)

Thank you I'll have a look on YouTube to see how it works then ebay

Or, just pull the discs off and take to a brake joint for a skim, that will tell if they are warped, and clean up the surface

Good time for new pads and a brake fluid flush as well (while your in there)

You can make your own out of pretty much anything. I've used bricks and a ball point
