Changed both front suspension lower arms, changed both front arb drop links, wire brushed the mounting faces on the hubs, then put on new pads and discs but still vibrating when braking from speed. its a really bad shake and the bits i have changed have made no difference.
i have 2 new track rod ends that i will fit asap.
what else can it be?
driveshafts?
steering rack?
thanks in advance.

Have you checked the discs? they sound as if one of them has warped

i realise this, my question is what is causing it.
the discs are brand new and yet warped within a couple of days - and no i dont drive like lewis hamilton!

sticking caliper causing brakes to warp on one/both sides as soon as you drive at high speeds.

Did you say the hubs ok?
Got a vibration through steering wheel. Under braking through brake pedal at speed (50+) and grinding noise from nsf wheel, on/off with rotation of wheel at low speeds.
Had wheel bearing replaced and disks aren't warped. Pads replaced and still stupid noises. Now been told it's my hub gone - what's that mean?

i phoned citroen about something similar and they say its the abs rings on the hub, they crack and cause the caliper to go into abs mode. even though no lights come up on the dash... try it buddy...
