E39 Vibration on Braking - help please !
I have vibration of the sterring wheel on braking on an E39. There's
no vibrattion through the brake pedal. Just had a diagnosis from a garage - "brake discs (rotors) need replacing". On reading the Brake FAQ I see that worn suspension bushes can cause vibration of the stereing wheel. The vibration is worse at higher speeds. I would have thought that warped rotors would be felt through the pedal as well as the steerrng wheel. I'm on a tight budget, and don't want to replace the brake discs unecessarily. Can someone confirm that warped rotors would be felt through the brake pedal ? Or not ? I'd also be interested in the difficulty (i.e. cost) of replacing the suspension bushes *& which ones need to be replaced. Its a E39 528i 50K miles. Any help appreciated |
