Front brake judder?

ColinB · 30th December 2006, 17:51

Hi everyone,

My 75 had its first MOT recently (which it passed

), but the advisory said "front brake juddering slightly [3.7.A.2b]. Anyone know what the likely cause of this would be? And how to correct it.

Thanks, Colin

Check each wheel for any excessive movement which I doubt as you have just passed your mot then the next route would be to replace the pads and discs as they have excessive runout.have you notcied any steering wheel vibration when braking from higher speeds ?

Thanks Lates,
Haven't really noticed the vibration, but haven't been very fast lately either. Mostly been driving in town. Will have a look at the weekend, if it stops raining!

No wirries mate, keep us posted on your findings.The most obvious time to stop it is when you exit a bypass and are anchoring up quickly on the slip road.
