Vibration Under Braking

[MarkF]

I have an Evo X (2011) and the front off side shocker absorbed leaked and had to be replaced under warranty, afterwards I had noise and vibration under braking. The vibration isn't great but the noise is !

The dealer reckoned it was the brake pads in need of re greasing since they jet washed the oil off to see where the leak was when they replaced the shock absorber.

After a few weeks the problem came back, took it to the dealer who this time said the bearings/ disc were in need of grease, they did this and it was oaky for a few weeks ...its back again this week and I am starting to doubt the work they are doing, sounds like a quick fix rather than identifying the issue.

if anyone has any thing similar would be great to know before I go back next week ...again!!

Brembos are pretty noisy, is the vibration coming up though the pedal?

 

[MarkF]

Hi thanks for the reply
No vibration through the pedal to speak of but there is something loose for sure and it is at the very last moment in the braking cycle just before it stops

 

[JakeMac]

You sure thats not the abs kicking in?

 

[MarkF]

No def not the ABS the noise is something loose for sure

 

[JakeMac]

So its like a knocking noise? could be a lower arm bush worn possibly.

Thanks will suggest they look at it when it goes back in , have to say 2 years old and 14k miles and I don't hammer it , so would be concerned about the quality if it is a problem especially after one shock gone already !
