When to act urgently
Treat strong vibration, pulling or reduced braking as urgent.
Common possible causes
- Uneven brake discs
- Worn suspension parts
- Wheel or tyre fault
- Uneven brake operation
What you can safely check
- Note whether vibration is through the pedal, steering or body
- Check for warning lights
- Avoid hard driving until inspected
What not to attempt
Avoid dismantling safety-critical, pressurised, hot or high-voltage systems without suitable training and equipment. Generic symptoms are not enough to choose a repair.
How a workshop diagnoses it
A technician will confirm the symptom, review relevant vehicle information and use physical, electronic or measured tests as appropriate. The aim is to separate the underlying cause from related symptoms.
