I was on the A1 today at slightly over 70mph (officer..) and some donut pulled out in front of me so I had to brake rather sharply.
The car and steering wheel shook like mad. Felt like the whole front end was shaking.
I tested it again at 60 and it was ok.
Thoughts?
It's not thrust bushes as they are poly. Warped discs I reckon..

I would imagine it was the ABS kicking in.

No, the abs only works if a skid is detected. I didn't skid - just braked hard from 80 err.. 70mph.

+1 on the warped discs, I have a dial test indicator which can measure the run out. My other half had similar symptoms on her C class (2003) which wasn't noticeable around town but was pretty scary slowing down from motorway speeds!

Warped discs, had the same on me e46 two months ago...fitted genuine discs and pads....tested again at high spped and all is fine
