Brake identification

JDW3696 · Apr 17th, 2021, 19:56

Hello all.
Hope you are well. I'm replacing the front disks on my 1988 740 2.3gle estate as they have started wobbling under braking. I'm finding it a bit difficult to find out what discs I have. There seems to be quite alot of different disks used looking into it. I'll keep searching and will take the wheel off if needs be but does anyone know what they should be off the top of their head.
Thankyou
Joe

Small or big ones, not jumbo.

Best idea would be to remove the wheel and measure the disc diameter and thickness. Have you got ABS? Single piston or twin piston caliper. Upload a photo if you can.
There is no guarantee that what is supposed to be fitted is actually what is fitted.
eg: the exhaust fitting kit listed for my 1992 940 is not the kit that is actually fitted to it.

Thankyou for the replies. Okay thankyou. I will take the wheel off later and try to upload a picture and measure it.
I suppose I want to get it back to what it came out of thd factory with or better.
Thankyou once again for the advice. I will try and have a closer look today.
All the best
Joe
