Question on floating discs esp AP's
I always thought my right front floated a bit too much but it has been fine driving. However, since bedford i get a vibration on light braking at 50mph + but if I brake hard they are fine.
Are AP discs known for warping(they are a not massively worn)?
How often to people with floating discs change the Bobbins/Bolts that hold them to the bell. Are these known for stretching or should they be changed as a matter of course after a period of time anyway.
I may take them off and get them all checked for flatness etc and get the bolts changed too.
Can you skim AP discs?

. The only thing with mine is that they are very noisy - but apart from that, no bother. I have had my brakes for a very long while now as well.

When I was in yours at the ring Mike, they sounded exactly the same as mine. Martin did tell me what clearance there should be between disc and bell and the right side was more. My kit was second hand and done a couple of days on Seans car. I think I'll whip them off and make sure they are all OK.
