Renault Traffic 1998- Front passenger side tyre had a vibrating sound thats comes n goes when moving in straight line. It sounds like the brake is slightly on. The vibration stops when cornering.

Already checked the bearings- ok The Braking Disk is slightly worn out. Should it be the ABS system faulty?

If your brake is not releasing you could have a stuck caliper. What I would try first though is the brake hose going to the caliper. As the hose gets older the hose walls tend to break down and weaken so they collapse when the pressure releases not allowing the fluid to go back.

SOURCE: VIBRATING BRAKES ON A 2005 HONDA ODESSY

I am having the same problem with my breaks. The dealer checked it and said there was nothing wrong. I am taking it back again now that I see other people are having the same problems! I feel so much better now that I know I am not crazy!

SOURCE: Honda Accord 2003 - Engine and steering vibration

You might to have a tire shop check the wheel for roundness, not balance. A tire can be balanced and be out of round, causing the shaking you describe. On front wheel drive cars, the wheel/hub assembly may be bad, which a good tire shop can tell you if it is. Can't say if it will be expensive, the hub is relatively inexpensive. Labor will probably be the deal-breaker.

These two circuits are linked together and you probally need a ABS MODULE and possibly a rotor and they are pretty cheap on e-bay

SOURCE: disabling faulty abs breaks. Will car still pass mot?

If there is only one sensor faulty you should be able to replace that one.If for any reason one abs wheel sensor cannot connect to the abs system reader it stopes working.It means your brakes working just as fine but the Anti Block System is not functioning anymore.Your car will certainly pass the mot without ABS.

SOURCE: Renault clio abs light comes on with vibration

How hard are you stepping on the brake pedal? What you are describing sounds like the ABS system activating. When you step on the pedal hard enough to engage the ABS the light will come on, in some cars it will blink. You will also feel the thumping/vibration in the pedal since the system works by repeatedly engaging and disengaging the brakes. If it is happening when you step lightly on the brakes then you may have a bad wheel speed sensor or possibly a bad or miss-adjusted brake switch.

When im driving about 20 miles per hour on the drivers front there is a vibration and grinding sound what could be this problem

Lots of things can do this. Check your front hub bearings by jacking up the vehicle and turning the tire by hand. Or if you are using a commercial lift, let the wheels rotate with the engine running and the trans in gear.

Last week one of my clients had a similar problem. On his SUV, he changed the left front hub to no effect. He then changed the right hub to no effect. The problem was the front U-joint on the front driveshaft of the 4x4. It sounded like a left side noise but was actually coming from the center of the SUV and it vibrated and felt like a left side vibration.

Since Hub bearings are known to fail, they are worth checking. You do have other moving parts in the front drivetrain. A grinding sound can also generate from the rear Emergency brakes, as the shoes inside the rotors rust, the linings fall off and get eaten by the moving parts. Its also possible to have a floating front brake pad. with the loose pad separated from the metal backing and skipping on the side of the rotor. There is not enough room for the pad to fall out completely.

I hope my solution helps you find your problem.

In a 1998 4x4 jimmy 4 door I am experiencing a vibration which feels like its in the front end. the only occurs while accelerating, but stops almost instantly after letting off the gas pedal. Vibration...

This could be a loose hub bearing causing the hub to move in and out .When accelerating the weight shift will be less on the front wheels so the hub may be moving in and out during this .Have this checked soon :)

Rear passenger side wheel/brake locking at first touch of pedal

You possibly have air in your lines. When you bleed them you need to start at the rear passenger, then rear driver, then front passenger and then front driver. If you are certain you have no air in the line then you have a bad brake hose/brake line. Replace this and your problem should go away. If not then the culprit should be the distribution or master cylinder. I hope this helps.
