Default Warped Discs?

Hi All,

Just recently I have a pulse through the brake pedal. Only appears when the car slows to say about 20 - 10 mph etc. There isnt anything through the steering wheel at all. Rear discs warped? and if so, what could cause it?

Most likely pad deposits rather than warping.

Are you running DS2500 pads?

Hi
I have replied to your same question on my group buy thread , in case you haven't seen it -

HI
If you get shaking in the steering wheel it could be a front disc problem , if the pulsing is only through the pedal , it could be the rear discs , they need to be checked for runnout to find out exactly what is wrong

Oppps didnt see it sorry.
The pads are standard mintex I think.
I will try to get a run out gauge from work to check out the weekend, I am guessing 0.7mm run out? Is it more likely rears than fronts as I feel nothing through the steering wheel?
