Brake judder.......

[davegreg]

A common problem with the Monaro i know, but what is the most common cause and how much to put right, is it a job for The Fish or can it be cured more locally (i hear that Vauxhall dealers Sherwoods in Darlington are familiar with the Ro). It's an 05 car with 20,000 miles on it. Cheers.

New brake pads apparantly, thats it.

ETA - As in the friction pads that the fish sell.

What if got AP's and still getting the problem? Didnt get it at first but its gradually getting worse and Thunder Road highlighted it, trying to stop from 160+ was a bit hairy!

Fitting friction pads to my CV8's 'warped' discs sorted my brake judder completely.

I get it on and off with AP and don't worry about it unless it gets really bad and won't go away.

You didn't/havn't been braking hard enough and that has allowed pad transfer, I did the same at TR last year.
Go out and work the brakes really hard you may clear them.
If not have a word with Roger.

I had pretty bad brake judder, but done a trackday last week, on a dry day, which was hard on the brakes, and now the judder is cured!

So do a trackday
