Title: Brake judder
Post by: D3hnt on May 21, 2015, 12:21:14 pm

I have major brake judder when braking when the brakes are hot and at high speeds, feels like drivers side. Judder comes though the pedal not the steering wheel.
I have had my wheels balanced and a geo at VW. The wheels ain't buckled.
I am running a s3/golf r setup

I have replaced:
Discs, twice (brembos)
Pads, once (pagids)
Drivers driveshaft (oem VW)
Drivers wheel bearring and hub (oem VW)
Drivers drop link (oem VW)
Car has solid console bushes, everything seem fine on inspection.
It does feel as tho the discs are warped but they ain't, I've ran a DTI on them

Has anyone else had this problem? What you guys think?

Thanks

Wrong grade of pads?
If you are giving the brakes a bit of stick, the pads heat up to a point where they wont grip properly and will sometimes judder badly. Serious fade comes next!
Personally, I don't like Pagid pads - though lots of folks on here do.
I would go for a harder grade from a different make and see if it happens again. Brembo pads?

I had similar symptoms turned out to be my hub bolt from when my drive shaft was changed. Swapped to bolt, now issues since

Having replaced what you have, I'd look at the hubs next

as you say the judder isnt through the steering wheel have you had a look at the rear brakes?
