JaseTheTaff Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Hey guys So I have a standard glanva V and I've got awful wheel wobble under harder braking. Warped discs seems to be the issue according to a few friends who are much more mechanically minded than me. So can anyone advise me on a good set of discs and also is this something I could do at home with a decent guide or am I better taking it to a garage? I don't have a lot of experience but I want to learn as much as I can but obviously messing around with the brakes isn't something I want to get wrong thanks all!

morgey Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Discs are fairly straight forward. Loosen wheel nuts. Jack car up safelyRemove wheelUndo 2 17mm bolts on back of the caliper carriers Knock caliper off of discKnock disc offClean hub of any debris, dirt and grimePut a small film of copper grease on hub face to stop disc rusting to it in future. Clean new discs with alcohol or degreaser.Fit discIf doing pads aswell you will want a G clamp to push the piston back in on the caliper then fit new pads. Then its just a case of reversing the above steps.If youre not sure have a mate who knows what he/shes doing to watch over and help out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 If you're suffering with warped discs then our "110%" heavy duty ones would be ideal, they have 10% thicker castings to make them stiffer and run cooler. http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/72471-discspads-for-toyota-calipers-inc-wms-110-heavy-duty/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
