Hi everyone

Quick question here slight problem with my accord type r last track day seems to be having a problem everytime I brake on a hard corner my steering wheel just vibrates I suspect might be front calipers causing slight play? It's got mtec disc and ferodo pads.

Thanks
Guys!!
 
Possibly warped / overheated discs if it's only when you apply the brake. Does it get worse as the brakes get hotter ?

Lasted 3 laps as the steering vibration just getting worse then left the track felt both rims was really hot noticed the passenger side was hotter, checked the pads was fine had issue before that the pads fitting kit was having minor slipping/sliding could be this the issue?

Check that the piston and sliders are free and not seized, other than that I'd say them discs were at fault.

warped disks or worn ball joints is usually the cause of steering vibration.

Jacked up the atr upon inspection all ball joints are intact driveshafts etc..so I suspect it's the disc that needs replacing? Does only gets worse on track everytime I apply brakes on corners it seems struggling to grip this why my steering vibrates?
 
By the way front calipers are good with no play rear calipers are fresky refurbed
