Hi there. In the last few weeks I've noticed that whenever I am driving, there's a vibration that I can feel coming through the brake pedal as I go to apply the brakes. It is especially prevalent when driving on the motorway and I begin to slow down, and the vibrations sometimes come up through the sterring wheel as well. I don't think its my tyres as when I am driving straight, even at high speed, there is no vibration, only when the brakes are applied. (But of course, I could be wrong!)

Thanks in advance for your help.

It sounds like your vehicles brake rotors are not running true (warped) and need machining or possibly replacement.

You should take your vehicle to a mechanic to determine if the front or rear rotors are faulty (from your description it sounds like the fronts) and to see whether they can be machined or if they need replacement.
