Your discs should be clamped tight by your adaptors to the hub, i'd be very worried if they are rattling.

 

Its very odd.. the adapters seem like there completely solid with the hub...

 

What ever's going on that's not safe. Wheels off immediately to verify whats going on before something nasty happens.

 

you could have cross threaded something so it feels tight but wasnt, and that might have caused your brake disk to sheer the retaining screw.

 

Makes no sense Al, as already said even if the pointless disc screw has sheared the adaptor should be holding everything in place and i'd be getting those wheels off and checking wtf is going on if your getting any movement!!!!!!

 

yes, but if he cross threaded the studs, they might jam so it feels solid, but is not sitting flush holding the disk properly.
as in, theres a gap between the adapter and the disk.

 

Did you check the adapters were tight with the wheels on or off?

 

Iv had the adapters on for a few months and never had any trouble at all.. In the last few weeks its started to do this.Iv had the wheels off and the had a good look and the disc seems to be moving but the hub and the adapter are rock soild. Im gonna have to take off the adpaters and see whats goin on cause it aint right..

 

Your adapter is bound up on the hub centre and not sitting on the dics face.

Where did you get the adapters? Are they home made and are they for a Mk3 Golf?

 

are your wheel nuts catching the wheel? sounds like they are not.

They were on a mk2 jetta before, im not sure where they were made, theyve been on a few cars on the site.

The thing i dont get is that theyve been fine for ages and now there doing this, and there def not loose or anything,

Cheers for all the comments lads, appreciate the help

Ya the wheel nuts are perfect..

 

get a mechanic to take a look asap, you don't want anything falling off, could be fatal at speed.

 

what condition are the discs in? have you fitted new pads recently?
... may or may not be, but to me it sounds like the brake disc (outer or friction surface) has cracked/broken free of the 'top hat hub mounting bit' that goes on the hub/wheels bolt through.. the disc has to be well old and scored for this to happen though; usually happens when new pads are fitted to an old scored disc, or the pads shoulders havent been lubed copper anti seize grease and they grip on and dont release..... ... the remains of the disc (outer) is proberley only still there as the caliper 'body' is guiding it'... this happened to me years ago on an old opel, where I was just bought pads and didnt have the coin for discs....

The pads and discs are onlym a couple of months old, no scoring or anything. Im going taking off the adapters tomorrow, Have a proper look, but its baffling me as to why its happening?

I thought that the discs may have cracked or something alrite, but i cant see any damage at all.

Ill let ye know how I get on with it, as im sure your all as confused as i am..
