Just changed discs and pads on front of my ford fiesta 1.3 encore 1997.thought this was the problem,as i have had quite heavy vibration from drivers side wheel under braking,,think it mignt be wishbone bushes,,can you help please

I have a front towbar complete to fit a Ford Fiesta current model. AmanStino Mouse Pad with Gel Wrist Pad black9 0 7 8 AmanStino

2 things spring to mind. If stopping under heavy brakes ,the abs could be working giving you the impression of vibration But I am inclined to go with warped disc rotors. They give the impression of pulsations under you foot and will vibrate the steering to a degree. Check discs for condition ans check pads for lining thickness Anything under 1/4 of original thickness should be replaced

It sounds very likely to be the ICV

check speed sensor and cluster and fuse

wheel bearings.

if the pedal is verry hard to push then you have lost vacum to the brake booster or the booster has gone bad.

I turn them on a brake lathe in my shop whenever I change brake pads for customers. Heavy repeated braking will make em warp and vibrate like that. also changing the pads without turning them on a lathe will often leave them warped. Usually caused by either overheating during heavy braking effort or very commonly, using too heavy an impact wrench to tighten the lug nuts up. Did u get your tires changed recently? if so, dont go there again. their impact wrench is not set right and is likely overtightening the lug nuts.
Get a local garage/NAPA to turn the rotors and replace the pads. If the vibration is very severe you will have to replace the rotors.
Hope this helps if so pls rate my answer!

The binding of the brakes is causing the pads to overheat, which is causing the smoke. You need pull the wheel and check things out. Your caliper must be bad (not releasing). You need to replace the caliper, brake pads, and have the rotor cut (a full service parts store or shop cuts the rotor perfectly smooth on both sides), or replaced (it may be cheaper to just buy a new rotor). You should also always change the pads (and check everything else) on the opposite side. So, if u do the brakes on the driver side front, always do the front pass. side at the same time, likewise if u do rear brakes.
Whenever you do brakes u should also flush out the brake lines (by bleeding the brakes) until the brake fluid flows absolutely clear. Old brake fluid is the #1 reason for caliper failure. I've seen many times people replace brake components w/out changing the brake fluid, only to have the brakes wear out very quickly, or not function properly. good luck! hope this helps> please rate this!couontrycurt0

this could just be a fuse check them first

hi does the rattle go when you press the brake slightly if so the pads are loose in the caliper it is a common fault with that year of fords escorts feistas etc changing the pads usually clear the problem are they geniune pads if not take them back and change them if there geniune then its got to the pads carrier yates210456
