Flemming Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Hello My Vitesse 6's brakepedal's judders when I'm braking. Disc alignement measured to be with in tolerance, rear drums checked by engaging the handbrake to be also fine. Vert link ball joints replaced. The judder increases when speed decrases and is visible and audiable just before stop. At that point the whole front of the car is rocking. A bit like if the wheels where wobling. Where do I start to determine the cause of this very unpleasant driving experince. Regards, Flemming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterH Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Are the discs corroded? I had similar symptoms on my everyday car (Suzuki Jimny), 1 disc quite rough even though run out was OK. Fitted 2 new discs and cured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 With discs you need to check for thickness variations aswell as disc runout stuck on resin rust patches It may be the rears giving a reaction to the fronts rear drum rust build up on the brake surface wheels distorting the drums , fouling on the retaining screws etc. front hub brg end float does the pedal movenup down on slow braking ?

Mike Crewes Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Flemming Change the front pads, sometimes they get a bit funny and do this, new ones should sort it. Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlubikey Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Can you feel it throught the steering? Jack up the back, put in gear and see if it happens with back wheels only turning? Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
