Help Needed With My Toyota Corolla 2005 Disc by Funjay(m): 1:58pm On Jul 31, 2013
Gooday auto gurus,
My 2005 Toyota corolla front disc was changed of recent due to steering vibration on top speed, break vibration and noise. I initially bought a new one for like 10k but was told its china and didnt really work well, it was making disturbing noise after a while (even though the steering vibration was gone). Another mechanic advised tokunbo for 8k, I changed to toks, it was initially ok but now am noticing thesame noise and steering vibration.
Please how do i resolve this issue,where can i get original disc for the car and at what cost?, wont mind to import either from UK or US if possible.

N.B I have changed the hub too and i recently changed all the tires.

Tell your Mechanic to check the Shaft.

Vibrations in steering wheel at high speed could be caused by a number of things, bad tyre, bent rim, warped disc rotor, bad knuckle bearing (called spider abi shaft lipsrsealed). Since you changed ur didcs and it has continued, why don't you try checking the other possible causes. I hear warped discs can be machined to smooth them out again. Hopefully other members might be able to shed more light. wish you the best. have u tried rotating ur tyres to rule out bad tyres and rims?

Thanks bro, maybe i will look out for another mechanic.
However, just changed all my tyres to new ones, no bent rim observed, issue of shaft is wat i have not considered. To confirm that its the disc, i changed back to the original disc that came with the car and all the leg noise stopped except for the steerin vibration. I am of the opinion that the discs i have bought so far are not of quality.

Thank you for the advise bro, i appreciate.
