Default Resonating brake pedal

I have had an audible vibration for some time, its one of those little niggle ones. Well after some time I have finally found it (after trying trim, objects in door pockets etc)

It’s the brake pedal that resonates on acceleration? All I have to do to stop it is with my left foot put the lightest of touch (No need to press the brake) and it stops, move foot and it vibrates?

Anybody else ever had a vibration from a brake pedal under acceleration?

Is there anyway to pack out the pedal with grease?

The pedals are mounted on a shaft with nylon/plastic inserts between the shaft and the pedal assembly. They can be removed but are literally a pain in the neck to get at. If the inserts are not badly worn, they can be greased with plastic grease and reassembled or replaced. Take care with the fittings as they can easily be dropped down behind the trim and be lost (How do I know this???). Diagrams :-

Item 5 is easily lost and item 28 (2 of) are the inserts.


A spray of spray grease or chain wax in the right spot may do the trick to save a lot of work.


Item 5 is probably one of the most important clips on the car. Without it the rod slides out and the brake pedal falls off!!!!!!
