Steering vibration

My TT has Brembo BBK and Ta 20" wheels and at slow speeds the st wheel vibrates and then again.
The problem can be wheel balance that seems to be correct or the hats and discs.

Any one has a similar problem ?

When did the problem start? When you put the wheels on or the brakes? Did you do them at the same time? The brakes would only really wobble when you step on the brake...The wheels will wobble at different speeds...Could be a few things...Could need a balance, could have a bent wheel, wheel bore could be off...I'd take the wheels to somebody that has a hunter roadforce balance machine and they should be able to tell you whats wrong with your wheels...

Balancing would be the first thing I do and while your at it check to see if your rims are bent.. U might of hit a pot hole or something and never noticed. I had a vibration and never had thought my wheels could have bent it was a minor bent but got it fixed.

Agree - road force balance first.

It is normal that the brake pedal vibrates while braking with brembos ? I think my hats are bend.

Pedal judder is usually associated with warped rotors - has the BBK been on for a long time - how many miles? Also, I think a faulty ABS can cause pedal judder but my guess is the rotors.

Agreed...If your steering wheel is shaking when you brake, then you most likely have warped rotors! Do you track the car a lot? Not sure if they can turn bbk rotors...If they can't, you'll need to purchase new ones...

Agreed..Seems like there might be a couple of issues here If the car is shaky while braking that's prob because of warped rotors... They cannot turn BBC rotors, and plus I wouldn't even if they said they could.
