can anyone tell me why i would get a vibration through the steering wheel and brake pedal when i am at about 60-70 and braking quite hard but it does not happen if i am below that speed and its ok at and above 100 and also it kinda feels like im getting pulled back slightly when braking from 10 mph to stop and as the car has been sat there for about 2 years could the brake discs have warped??? but any ideas will help....

if your steering wheel is shaking around the 60mph mark it usually means the front wheels aren't balanced correctly.

never heard of the steering wheel shaking from warped discs, should only notice that through applying the brake pedal

Wheels need re-balancing deffo and its more then likely the fronts at that speed
