Hi all,
Time to pick your brains on the subject of juddering which occurs on application of brakes. It is quite severe when braking from 60-50mph and not so bad 40-30mph etc. The vibration comes up through the steering column.
This began before a recently scheduled replacement of discs and pads to both front and rear. The problem seemed to resolve itself after the replacements but it has crept up again in just under 1000 miles. I think I can rule out a distorted disc on these grounds.
A previous thread did mention the pads slipping against the clip springs and I haven't checked for that as I wouldn't know how. Another thread mentions stuck calipers. Bearings, shocks and springs etc all seem good.
Any suggestions on how I should proceed?
As a second related question; since the removal of asbestos in brake pads, am I the only one who thinks the variation in pad quality has increased?
Anyone recommend a particular pad?
Ta in advance,
D
