Hi John,

I have a 1972 MGB, restored about 5 years ago. At the end of last season,
I
experienced some uneven braking only at low speed. By uneven braking I
mean
the the car would sort of lurch or shake when the brakes were applied and
the
car was almost stopped (below 10 mph). This problem seemed to occur only
after the brakes were warmed up. However, the car still stopped quite well
in
spite of the lurching.

I thought that the front rotors were probably warped, so I bought new
rotors, pads, clips, etc and replaced everything a week or so ago.
Unfortunately, the problem has not gone away. Do you know where I should
look next? Should I now do a repair and replace on the rear brakes, or is
there somewhere else that I should be looking?

Thank you.

Steve Swarin

Steve!

You've already fixed the problem by now, I expect -- I apologize for
my tardy response.

Here are some thoughts, but PLEASE let me know what you found and
how you fixed it!
