Any one had this before?
My brakes work fine until you go to stop quickly when the car seems to sway about, mainly from the rear but at the same time front dose too,
I have had it on the brake tester at my mot station & all is well, no imbalance at all.
All my brakes look fine, when braking normal it stops as it should no pulling, but when you stamp on them & the ABS kicks in Holy MOG it

they may well say that for cheap aftermarket bits, but if you go for original they are different, cheap aftermarket bits will be nowhere near the stiffness of o.e bushes.

uprated suspension models use -

5131 70 RIGHT AV PAULSTRA - 3 DOOR SALOON WITHOUT COLOUR MARK

they are
