Disc warp?

[GazM]

I recently changed my front discs and pads and the cars felt a bit shakey under breaking since then. One disc looks fine but on the drivers side part of the disc looks more shiney than the rest. I fitted them correctly, is it possible the new disc could be warped? They weren't expensive to say the least - £20 a disc from local car shop. Maybe i should have waited untill i could afford better ones but they did need doing badly at the time.

Any ideas ppl?

Take the disc off, clean the hub and disc so its completely dirt free. Then lie the disc down on something completely flat, like a granite worktop or a marble fireplace and check its not warped.

Thats what i'd do. It sounds as though the disc is not sitting flush.

Yeah thats an idea. its been on a few months now though so im probably gonna need new discs an pads because of uneven wear right?

If they've been on a while then i would change them yeah. Better to be safe than sorry with brakes mate!!

 

[GazM]

yeah, i'll take a look 1st to put my mind at rest. Gonna have to put some thought into a decent set of discs an pads next then. Any recomendations? (Not enough £££ for brembo/4 pot route though)

Brembo max/ hc discs are superb mate, most recommend them for clios.
