If the discs are NOT completely true & square to the wheels axis - the discs will be "wonky" :lol:

and most likely cause brake judder and pulsing - so make sure the disc seating faces are 100% clear of paint :!:

Thanks Piggy I found this out the hard way with my previous A4 build.( Warped Discs ) So I have scraped all the paint off the wheels and now the discs. :wink:

Thing's are coming together now, Z-Power sent the seals and pistons to referb the calipers on Thursday . Yesterday I ordered disc pads from Z-Power and they came today, the engineering shop called to say the discs were done so I picked them up and spent the afternoon taking the paint off the backs of them ( Piggy

) I tried to put the calipers back together this morning but it aint going to plan

so have given up for today and will try again tomorrow :??

Well it's tomorrow now so after a blast on the REX I got down to trying to fix the A4. I managed to get the calipers back together again ( fingers X ) I then put the discs on the wheels only to find that who ever did it last time kcuf ti pu , it seems to have bolts with different threads holding them on so had to go though them to match bolt with thread :shock:

,also they had used some none standard soft bolts so I managed to strip the tread on one :evil:

If I had hair I would pull it out :angry

. Just need the swingarm back and it might look a bit like a bike again ( ho hum )
