When Breaking in my 4.2 R-reg Cerb I get a fairly obvious juddering on the steering wheel. The car breaks fine and in a straight line.

Is this normal or are the disks warped or something?
The car has just had a 12k service and had the disks skimmed could the dealer have done a bad job at skimming???

(BTW - just got the car and the previous owner did the service. I would use a specialist over a dealer)

Thanks for all the help
Nick

I doubt it is these as they were changed at the service (about 400 miles ago...)

I will check though as it is possible they have been damaged since then.

Thanks

I think it is common practise as it is far cheaper than replacing the disks.

Yours would have been done as they were probably worn and grooves were probably forming on the disk due to general wear. By skimmng the disk you smooth it out and improve the braking e.t.c....
