juddering under braking
#1
Everytime I brake there is a slight juddering through the steering wheel, had a quick look and the discs seem fine and not warped, anyone have any idea?

Can't tell if discs are warped by looking at them, and that's usually what it is, but if it's not that...

- Worn wishbone bushes/balljoints/TREs
- Flat spots or deformed tyres
- buckled wheels
- loose steering column/rack
- driveshafts/CV joints

Could be any of the above really...

If it's only under braking its more than likely warped discs. Could also be build-up on the discs though, which will disappear in time with use.


mine are fairly warped I think, it's a pain in the arse but not dangerous..

Looks like I've got some more checking to do then, would it fail its mot or does it just depend which problem is causing it, ed, that's a very good excuse to drive/brake fast Wink

Shouldn't fail an mot unless the car has significantly different braking efficiency between the two front wheels.

it will fail mot with a "fluctuating brake effort"-----------a buckled disc.

do you know how to use a dti guage? or have a mate who can get one???-then check the discs while the wheels are off to confirm that the discs are in fact made of soft cheese, and thats why they are warped.

I have a little test for warped disks, feel free to laugh. Clamp a spanner or a screwdriver to the strut so it's almost touching the disk, then turn the disk and watch the gap between the 2. If there's any real movement the disk is f*cked...
