Brake shudder
« on: January 26, 2012, 01:57:29 AM »
Hi I have an Abarth punto evo with grande ss disks on they have done around 5k, when I brake from high speed or hard from 70 I get shudder and feel it through my steering wheel just wondering has anybody else had the same problem if so what's causing it.
Cheers

Sounds like warped disks to me.

I have the same setup, but dont get that problem.
An obvious one but check your wheel nut tightness.

If it is only under braking, I agree with John: Disks.

I agree the most likely problem is disc warp but i did have similar symptoms on another car
and it was due to mismatched tyres on the front of the car (one was a spare) as soon as my old tyre went back on, problem disappeared   ???
