Brakes - more problems
Brakes - more problems
steviewevie You need to try and find a garage you can trust to tell you the truth - i.e. who won't just tell you "you need 4 new discs" no matter what the run-out test produces. So that's the usual issue with garages, finding a decent one.Yep I'll have to try a few local places to see who can do it.....yep that's the problem, most will just say you need new discs which is what I'd like to avoid.
Lexusboy Since brakes have had the asbestos taken out they really dont seem to be as good.I trust Lexus Woodford, they're usually pretty straight up and honest with what needs doing.........I actually had my current brakes fitted by WIM and they are mintex pads with ADL blueprint (I think) discs.
Some member recommend Mintex or EBC Brake pads and not your normal Lexus suppied brakes.
If you have second Lexus near you why not ask them to check your car.

Maybe you could ask somewhere to actually tell you the runout test readings, or even let you see them doing it ? Might produce a more honest result ?
The workshop manuals on the runout readings (and other checks on the discs) are here for the front discs and here for the rears.

money on warped discs, I had the exact same thing on mine when I was driving it home after picking it up I noticed judder which unfortunately was a warped front n/s disc and double unfortunate for me that the previous owner didn't agree to replace the discs for me.
I put some mintex discs+pads on the front and problem is gone

Marsdendean Im glad you have these problems!!!

Marsdendean now that makes me not change my disks.
Its quite intresting how your having similar "problems" both being automatic. Keep us posted on how your getting on, im going to try to blast the brake dust out and see if that helps. My problem seams to have come from heavy driving when i first bought the car
Also, do you have a custom screen, since yours has voice activation??
