Sorry to dig up my old post, but thought I'd report back.

Turned out to be a temporary solution as the brake wobble came back..... swapped the discs AGAIN on the rear. Fixed...... came back a few months later. Had the discs machined on the car with a Procut lathe. Fixed. Now a few months on, it's back again!

I bought a dial gauge and it's the O/S rear that has the most runout, but only about 0.08mm compared to 0.02 on the N/S. I checked this before I had them machined.

There was no runout on the hubs that I could detect.

I stripped and wire-brushed the caliper to remove all the rust and greased all the moving parts last time I fitted new discs but could it be this??

The one positive I've had out of this, is from never changing brake parts before, I can now replace discs and pads in about 10 minutes per corner

I'm considering selling the car now as it's doing my nut!
