Vanquish - Are you having brake judder and vibration?
Discussion
Thought I would share my experiences with my brake judder and vibration with other Vanquish owners.
Problem before:
- I had a brake judder at low speed when braking. Sounded like pads were low by I had 60% left.
After inspection I found that the brake pads had tiny cracks in them. Apparently this is caused when a car sits for a length of time and is then driven at speed only occassionally. The contant hot to cold can cause the brake pads themselves to get a slight cracking. Also, to prevent the vibration I had removed the discs and cleaned up surfaces to prevent and play. (Which, at around 140mph had a slight shaking before)
Anyway, I have now changed the pads and the juddering has dissapeared, so this was the issue. In all honesty, when all is said and don, Vanquish brakes arent all that in comparison with many supercars and apparently most suffer from a slight vibration, especially with the vented discs.
I thought I would share my experience.
