Pulling ..

Under really hard breaking from about 80MPH Mine get wobbbble about pretty bad!
It may be something related?

It's on the end of a movie that I made and you see it happen may be worth checking it out.
 
I wouldn't say its under hard breaking to be honest .. where is the vid please ?? :) and I will check it out
 
Could be any of a few things. Probably worth getting the tracking checked first. What are your pads like? could be, worn/damaged pad, calliper may be seizing, loose caliper bolt...
 
Had 4 wheel alignment done at Tweeks when I had the springs fitted and wheels balanced (sp) when the new wheels/tyres were fitted .. I am going to be fitting new pads, hoses and fluid etc for the track day so I will try that first and then go from there .. just seems strange that it didn't do it before I went on my hols but now it does :(
 
Without watching the vid thats exactly what happens .. a quick hard pull of the wheel pulls it back in ..
 
Nah the only person who used it while I was away was my mum and I can't see that being anything to do with it .. I will just have to illiminate (sp) things 1 by 1 :)

*goes to order breaks etc*
 
Hmmmmmmmm never thought about that . .but I guess you could be right . .best to get it checked out though right ?? :)
 
If it's only the odd time it happens it's fairly likey it's the road surface or slight tyre presure difference causing it to tramline. If it happens every time you are breaking then something else. Should of picked up on the fact you said you've been away earlier, if it's been left standing fair chance that a caliper is seizing. Like you said though, it'll be fine.

to the right when breaking :S anyone know why my 182 would be doing this please ?? :D

Mine did it when new pads went on, have you tried bedding them in. It can be done any time. I can if I want take my hands off wheel while breaking and it doesnt budge. It was shocking before I broke them in though, I was struggling to keep steering straight.
 
Mine pulled to the right before, turned out that the left (passenger side) caliper had seized. So I had nice worn brake pads on the driver side, and half used on the passenger side lol.
 
Not got new pads yet Dave but thanks for your help :)

Cheers Chris . .she is going in for 24k service next week so I will get it checked out then :)

May have just been the roads like Ali said but always best to be on the safe side and get it checked out huh ;)
 
try it again on a completely flat surface mate. like ali said. it could be a sticking calliper, i had one recently and that's what was happening for me, albeit it was a lot more pronounced. lol

if you're going to get renault to check it out, do so before you fit the new parts...any excuse to refuse a warranty pay-out eh. ;) jokers.

car looked mint at fcs by the way.

Sounds like a seized caliper to me . One is braking harder than the other causing it to pull to one side . Get it on a flat car park with no camber and brake hard a few times with your hands off the steering wheel , if its seized it'll wobble the steering wheel .

Not that hard of a problem to fix , pop the piston outta the caliper , grease it and put it back in and grease the 2 sliders as well , should fix it .A good opportunity to get the pads , fluid and hoses on if your gonna grease inside the caliper .
