[urq] [s-cars] Problem vibration in the front end?

[Andrew B]

Well, I don't know if you've tested for this, but I had a sticking G60
caliper on my Urq that seemed to appear and disappear at will, but
always got worse with speed.  Replacing the caliper solved the issue.
It sounds like you may have already looked into that, but I thought I
would throw it out there.  I replaced the pads and rotors at the same
time, so I can't really comment as to whether the rotor was warped or
not, but that could also explain the pulsation under braking.

There is a slight oscillation when braking as if the rotors were warped but no run out when tested on the car.
