Steering wheel judder when braking

Ush · Jun 18, 2011

Hi all,

I've been experiencing a judder when braking from speed, jacked her up and found a bit of play when rocking the drivers side wheel 9 & 3 position.. could see some movement in the track rod ends. replaced the whole bar and hey presto no more play when rocking the wheel, but the judder is still there..

Thoughts?.. I'm thinking either warped discs or could the wheel balancing be causing it?, any way of making sure before I start buying bits?

Cheers

IMO this ^^^ is the answer ... wheel missbalancing affects the steering on flat run too not just when brakes are applied.

check wheel brgs

Also check sliders in calipers have not seized. Gives similar symptoms to warped discs.

Was the discs.. changed them this afternoon.. bit of WD40, and make sure you have a 19mm multi-point socket for the caliper bolts and pretty easy job. Assuming the disc retaining screw lets go, which mine did with the help of an impact driver.

Thanks for all the advice.
