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.

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.

1 Tighten wheels, then 2 balance wheels, then 3 check for ball joints/bush wear, then 4 change brake discs |
