Title: Steering wheel juddering when braking!
Post by: gigolo456 on September 16, 2012, 02:22:14 pm

Hi Folks, following on from the endless juddering threads, lol, I have found of late that when im braking from high speeds, my steering wheel judders somewhat! Discs and pads recently changed, so doubt thats the cause, any ideas?? I have a 2005 GTi. Someone at work mentioned bushes, mite you agree?
Cheers
Andrew

I still would check that your front discs aren't warped...

They might have not cleaned the hub faces when installing the new disc... Did you bed them in gently? Are they grooved/drilled?

Hmm, well I didnt go any more mental than what I normally do! :$
On fear of death, yes, got them changed at Kwikfit, had them done there before, so get the pads free so to speak, so I am assuming that they use standard parts if that helps!?

If it wasn't happening before you changed the discs and pads then i would look there first.
