It’s probably more noticeable in the cold. I had the worm drives fitted just before Xmas and noticed it for the first time sometime in Jan. it’s quite slight and goes by the time I get to the top of the street, so it might be temperature dependant. It is one of those things once you notice it once you are on the look out for it and I doubt anyone else would notice it unless prompted.

When it’s not raining and the car has stood for a while, I am going to re-check tyre pressures just to make sure one isn’t low.

I did wonder if it was a brake binding, but couldn’t work out why it would only happen in a morning, but it just occurred to me, maybe it’s the handbrake and possibly slightly oval hubs?

The drums are almost bomb proof, more likely to be a sticking front caliper slider pin.
