My luck's not so good lately... after recently suffering at the hands of a hit and run incident, I've now managed to hit a massive (and I mean massive) pot hole on M6. Was travelling at a slightly naughty 80mph and was changing lanes when it happened, I just didn't see it in time to avoid it.
Anyway thought I'd got away with it until I noticed the car is vibrating violently under braking at speeds in excess of 65mph. Unless it's pure coincidence that my discs have decided to self-destruct for the fourth time (it's a long story!) in a couple of years then I've sustained some damage from said pothole.
I'm assuming it's suspension or suspension arm damage thats causing this some how? as there's no vibration or noise when not under braking. I'll find out soon enough when I get it booked in to a garage for investigation but thought I'd ask in case anyone has ever had the misfortune of a similar accident that could offer advice on what to have checked out?
My 1st thought was to ask for tyres and alloys to be checked for damage/balance followed by visual inspection of suspension arms etc. Other than that I'm all out of ideas but don't really want to give an open chequebook to the garage to keep checking/replacing things until it's fixed! I've had a quick look myself and nothing obvious to be seen. Other than the braking issue all seems fine.
Any advice appreciated thanks in advance
