Vibration under braking

[Wildfire]

Ok guys, I seem to have developed a worsening vibration under medium to heavy braking from around 50mph.

My thoughts are:

1. A stuck piston in the brakes, but there doesn't seem to be any excess heat off one side. Could one piston be stuck in?

2. Warped brake disc. Not sure how this could have happened?

3. Worn Wishbone bushes. I don't have the knocking sound from the front though. I was thinking of replacing the lolipop bushes with the Meyle bushes, or should I do all the wishbones?

As I'm buying a house at the moment funds are a little tight.

What's the best way to test all of the above?

Also, could someone supply me with the torque settings for removing the caliper?

Cheers!

Hi, I had slight steering wobble whilst braking which was cured by fitting meyle wishbone bushes.
Calipers are removed without undoing any bolts-just the silver sprung clips which attach the sliding part to the fixed part.
Regards

I had this due to a sticky calliper. Is there more brake dust on one side ?

Brilliant! Thanks! I'll probably replace the bushes anyway as I've done 56k and I hear the OEMS just about last 50k.

Had this a couple of years ago.
New discs and pads on the front cured it and it has never returned.
