wobbly discs
« on: 23 October 2006, 20:19 »
i was changing the front brake pads today and noticed the discs had a bit of movement in them, does this mean the wheel bearings need attention?

i think the wheelnuts go through the discs to the hubs behind making eveything nice and tight. put your wheel back on and try and move it holdong the top and bottom then left and right. if there's any movement then, it may be a bearing.

There should be a big screw holding the disc to the hub but many times I have seen these missing/broken and this will make the disc wobble until you bolt the wheel back on..after you refit the wheel try moving the wheel back and forth as this is more likely to indicate wheel bearing problem's
