High speed vibraton

[KermitF]

Hi guys,

Could not find my original thread to reply to (it has been so long since I have been on-line - due to repairs on son's car, wife's car, plumbing problems on house), but wanted to report back on my vibration problem (from 70 -85 mph).

Before I had a chance to do troubleshooting on the vibration, I had to replace front brake pads. Turned out drivers side had uneven pad wear - inside was worn more than outside.

I believe this means I need caliper rebuild, which I will need to research a bit more to confirm, but in the meantime simply repllacing the pads did away with the vibration.

If the inside was significantly more worn than the outside, then it is probably dragging. Did the piston move freely back into the caliper when you put the new pads in or was it more diffcult to slide back in than the other calipers?

Interestingly enough, Ali, the inside pad was worn significantly more, but the piton went back into the caliper nicely. I am thinking that I must be in the early stages of needing caliper rebuild.
