2000 A3 1.8T - Juddering under braking from 50mph
Discussion
Sometimes when I brake from 50mph, I get a juddering effect through the steering wheel. The car doesn't veer to one side, I just get the juddering. For some reason it doesn't happen all the time (not that I can remember anyway) and it doesn't happen from higher speeds.
I've done a quick search on google with this and it seems to come up with warped brake disc(s) but I'm not sure about that, given my not so spirited driving style (mainly motorway miles to and from work)
2000 A3 1.8T with 117,000 on the clock. Front discs and pads changed circa 10,000 miles ago. Most of those miles have been motorway driving and I can't think of a time when I've had to brake really suddenly which may cause my brakes to warp.
When I got the car serviced last February, there was mention of leaking shock/worn bush. I've seen mention of this being the problem.
I'm getting my car serviced within the next 3 weeks or so but if anyone has any idea about what could be the problem, then any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!
