34% Brake Imbalance

[mantis946]

Anybody know if a 34% brake imbalance is "Holy crap" amount off or just a little, in reference to the front only.

Thanks

I assume you mean side to side and not bias.... And yes thats monumental!!!

Hmm explains the shaking under braking, probable cause being seized piston's and or sliders ? I changed the brakes not long back with NWPerformance disk's and pads, not sure if these ones need filing like some DS2500's ?

And yeah it's side to side, odd thing is though it does not pull in any direction. Just shakes when slowing from speed

warped disks? In my experience stuck calipers mean big skids with one wheel and lots of directional pulling.

^ This!

Odd, they where changed at the same time as the pad's and i've no vibrations until i'm actually braking. Would warped disc's cause an imbalance that bad ?

99% of my driving is motorway so they brakes get used now and then but i certainly don't mash them, they are about 3 month old !

You could try and source a Dial gauge to check the run out of the disks but personally I'd just replace them as they aren't too expensive. If it turns out its not the disks you've got a spare set
