Thought i might as well post this while im logged in! when i go around a corner at a faster than normal speed (i.e around a roundabout at 35) my steering seems to shudder/shake on the inner wheel, almost as if its loosing grip every so often then grabbing again. it could also be discribed as a...

Hi all, my rear drum brakes are up the creek, and the bearings along with them! so i thought whilst im playing with that part of the car, i might aswell change them over to discs, main reason is beacuse the pads are easier for me to change in the future. Now from what i understand, the only...
