Whilst out on my run today i noticed I was getting a little vibration through the brake peddle and steering wheel. It's only slight but was noticeable when braking gently from 70 on the motorway.

I seem to remember someone mentioning that the hubs can cause this? I have checked the disc's and pads and they all look good to the naked eye with plenty of meat. Probably just a coincidence but my handbrake went ping the other day and as such it needs to be pulled much further up to work.

Any advice fellas??

Also check disc bells.
Oh and it sound like you lost a bit of hand brake shoe or your cable is on the way out!

James,
Take the inspection cover behind the passenger seat on the tunnel off and have a peek, what might have happened is that one of the cables might have pinged of the metal connector, or the crimped ball on the end might have come off one of them.

Thanks for the advice fellas.

The other half is off this weekend so the inspection will have to wait
