Volvo 740 - Charles
My father in law has a Volvo 740 1990 'G' Non ABS Model. When braking
from 40 MPH+ there is a vibration through the car that is like driving over rumble strips in the road.

Recently the pads and discs were changed and all components were checked
for runout with a dial gauge, seizure of caliper pistons, sliding pins
etc. Last night I rechecked everything again and all was in order. I'm
now thinking he could have some sort of suspension problem.

Any ideas anyone??

Thanks in advance

Charles

Did you do the work so you can be sure all was done. Could the brake pads be incorrectly positioned or incorrect for your model?

Check the condition of all the rubber suspension bushes on the front suspension.
