Had some probs with my valver recently, really bad shakes on the steering wheel when braking. Checked the obvious, had the wheels balanced ect but the problem was still there.

Just thought sod it, do everything;

New driveshafts a week ago, Then;

Braided lines all round Replaced crappy powerflex bushes with OE items,

New wishbones including bottom ball joints, outer ARB links. New callipers.

Brembo MAX disks to replace some OMP drilled 'n' grooved disks.........complete waste of time, sure these were the cause of the shakes due to being warped after only 3000 miles!!

Also some new greenstuff pads, heard bad things about the old formula, but believe these new ones are OK...........will report back once they are worn in!

New bulkhead heat shield to stop the fluid heating up as much.

Overall I'm very happy with the outcome (no shakes anymore) and nice feel to the brakes, but as I say want to do a few more miles to ware the disk's n pads in before really testing them!

Got some new track rod ends as well, just not looking forward to removing the old rusted ones!
