Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / March 2007Vibration under braking at speed .
w124 230TE 1991 .... I have a vibration that feels like a warped brake disc .. however it is not ’felt’ through the steering wheel nor the brake pedal . The faster you are travelling the heavier the vibration . Is there any other possible explanation other than a warped disc ... bushes or anything else ?? I would guess that the vibration area is left & rear .  SignaturePosted at author's request, using http://www.AutoBoardz.com interface Articles individually verified to usenet standards.

Another possibility is worn suspension bushings... On your car it would be the lower control arm bushing/ball joint... so buy a whole new unit. > The faster you are travelling the heavier the vibration . > Is there any other possible explanation other than a warped disc ... > bushes or anything else ??

It assumed it was warped brake discs as that was exactly what it felt like. I replaced the worn our tires with new Michelins and it has never shuddered when braking since. It rode smoothly so I don't suspect tire balance, separation bulge, or flat spot was the cause. Pete Cowper 1987 300E |
