hi all, this might seem a stupid question, just had the front discs replaced, with 288mm thing i would like to know is what way are the grooves supposed to go, garage has done it but every time i put foot on brakes it sounds like they are grinding,and the same when am at low speeds like at traffic lights when just coasting, also get excessive wheel wobble at 60/70 when i didnt get any before they were replaced, disc came from courtney the pads are black diamond, can any1 post a pic of what they look like in case the guy that put em on has done it wrg.

TIA

if you have grooved disks you will always get a rubbing noise when applying the brakes esp when the windows are open and youhere the skots going through.

they do seem a bit better now, but still getting severe wheel wobble at 50/70, could the garage have let of a spigot for the brakes maybe, neva had it be4 they were replaced but its bad now and bloody annoying to say the least.
