It is ABS at work.

hmm.. vibration of bonnet? how would u know? are you brakes worn out already? if one side of the brakes is worned out more than the other side.. u may feel vibrations on soft brakings..

Doubt taping brake will have abs kicks in...

[Koren]

cant be abs if he's just tapping on the brakes..

1. IMHO, depending how hard he tap the brake, how sensitive the ABS is and the road situation. I assume that the car has no vibration problem hitting 150km/h and above or when cornering.

 

2. If not ABS, probably there is a need to do high speed balancing. Remembered guys, sometimes back I started a thread on steering vibrate problem? Here you go: http://www.mycarforum.com/forum/Aftermarke...rates_P1187443/

 

3. Must add that I'm no expert but just suggesting.

[Hlkh]

you something like right wheel brake worn more then left wheel brake??

i tot both side shld be the same?

[Koren]

should be... but due do circumstances like having one diskrotor wetter than the other @ times will cost uneven wear.. but veri rare..

[Kelpie]

The tyre shop guy told me once that it is common for larger wheels to have uneven wear and tear.

ABS at work happens only when you feel vibration on the brake pedal only.

 

Bonnet and steering wheel not affected at all. Shd not have any vibrations at all.

 

Could be wheel alignment problems if its steering wheel vibrating.
