Steering wheel wobble under braking

Guys/Gals (are there any on here, gals that is Smile )

Probably a well asked question however I am not technical in any way, when I brake at anything above 50MPH I get a small wobble through the steering wheel. Only happens under normal braking, full on the pedal produces nothing and stops OK. Can anyone give me a hint before I put it in the shop.

I would hazard a guess at discs but only if I wasn't in such esteemed company.

Aye, might be the discs. I had similar on my disco4. Only under light braking above 50mph but as you said if you are pressing a bit harder the steering firms up. At slower speed no wobbles at all.

Replaced the discs and no wobble Thumbs Up

Obviously it could be something in the steering linkage as well (there was a TSB on he disco for it) but how old are the discs?

Might be the best place to start!

Had the wheels refurbished recently, may be that? 2013 L405 Autobiography Baltic Blue

Easiest thing to check...... Did you retorque your wheels after a couple of trips out after they were refurbed? Can take a while for the nuts to seat in with the new coating. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

May not be the cause, but easy to check. Mine worked loose in the first week, but were fine after retorqued. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

It could also be a ever so slightly seized calliper on the front. Imagine if one of the pots operated a little bit slower than the other side it would cause slight wobble in the steering as one side is being slowed down more than the other. But once you brake harder pressure is evenly distributed. They could just need a quick clean.

Just an idea if nothin else works. Bushy
