Spent the weekend at the track. Was experiencing a lot of vibration under brakes, through the steering wheel yesterday. So bad in the first session I had to pit. First thought were warped rotors. So I jacked the car up and rotated the front wheels by hand. They didn't seem to catch at all. Did notice my wheel bolts were not that tight. Strange as they were tight the day before. So did them up firmly and went back out about an hour later when it was my turn. Vibration wasn't present until about half way through the session and mild vibration returned. Although not as bad as before and not enough to warrant ending the session. Came in and after about 30mins I checked the wheel nuts again and they were fine. Wish I had checked when they were hot though.
Anyone experienced anything like this? I'm thinking something to do with the wheel bolts expanding and contracting at a different rate to the hub causing them to loosen. Or warped rotors. Or poor alignment. I must admit I did not get a wheel balance or alignment prior to the event.
