front end vibration when braking-KZN185

[kevinturner100]

Can anyone help.

When braking medium/hard the whole truck seems to vibrate. driving around the doors and braking isnt a problem. Just really say when coming off a dual carriageway up a sliproad and slowing down to a stop.
I have replaced both front discs, pads,rear shoes, rear drums were checked ok.

There is no vibration through the steering wheel though thats what I cannot understand.

Could it be anything to do with ARB bushes or anything else?

Or anyone in the North east who could look at it. I will pay them of course

I'll second your thoughts on checking the UJs on the rear propshaft

Hi Kevin,

Both mine, and my son's 2.4's, do just the same
as yours, I've checked both and can't find any thing
wrong. So putting it down to an accumulation of play
in all those steering joints. I.E. 1/4mm here 1/4mm there
can all add up to quite a bit of play. I just brake a bit
earlier, and a bit softer, to ease the problem.
Hope this helps.

Gman.

EDIT: At MOT time inspector said brakes were very
good on our trucks.
