Heavy Braking judder/noise

streetwork · Jan 10, 2011

Hi all. Happy new year.

Discovery 2 TD5 - Registered 2000

On heavy braking, usually down hill I experience a judder and noise from the front end, seems to travel up the foot brake. All pads and discs have been replaced as well as new brake fluid.

Any ideas would be appreciated on how to fix this please.

are you sure its not just your abs working

If its not the ABS this could be down to suspension, particularly worn bushes - worth checking out.

Its just passed MOT and the only item picked up was a worn drag link end, would this cause the problem, all other bushes are fine.

Will have the ABS checked out soon.

ABS it fine and the mech could not duplicate the issue, so back to square one, unless anyone out there khow what to try next, please...

We had a similar issue with brothers "new" disc's from a reputable supplier and they were warped/not straightwobbly/fecked.....we took them off the car and then we put a little dial guage on them whilst on friends lathe, they were minutely out, so we bought new disc's which sorted the problem, money back for old discs....they were sooper dooper vented/grooved ones as well.

I would check them.

Sounds like the rear disc's are warped.
