When I brake there is a strong vibration at the front which slows down as the car slows down and steering becomes a bit erratic. In July I got new discs and yesterday I got front wishbones and anti-roll bar bushes fitted and the tyres balanced. But the vibration persists. Any ideas?|||Bent wheel or wheels (though you'd feel that even when not braking) Front suspension problem? Wheel bearing issue? If you feel it only when braking, the brakes still are not right. Typically this is caused by warped rotors. Can you feel it in the brake pedal also?
Take it to a reputable brake shop to diagnose the real problem. Get a warrantee on the repairs.|||If it only happens when your hitting the brakes, i would say its a warped rotor.. sounds pretty badly warped too...|||It sounds like the rotors themselves may be warped. This is prone to happen instantaniously and greatly depends upon the quality of your rotors. Cheaper is not always better. This tends to happen more after a heavy rain and will cause the rotors to warp when they are heated by the car, due to friction, and cooled quickly by a mixture of air and water. have them checked to make sure they are still true.... (i.e. proper spec)|||If you get no answers soon, try going on FEOA.com! It's the Ford Escort Owners Association. Go into the forum that says brakes. It might say something on there. I'm not saying that it will, but it might.|||When you changed the discs,you renewed the pads of course?.
Check for excessive play in the steering rack and track rod ends.|||have you noticed when you brake that the the brake pedal goes up and down? if so then it's defo something wrong with your brake set up.. whether its i faulty pair/ cheap pair of disc that av warped or the disc's haven't been fitted correctly,
