Team,
I have a light shudder/roughness on braking moderately hard. Here is all i know:
SYMTOMS:
- Light braking = No Probs
- Moderate braking = light shudder
CHECKS SO FAR:
I assume this is a front brake problem so have done these checks:
- Front pads: Tons of thickness. 1/2" at least
- Rotors:
- No shiny spots I can see. Sandpapered them anyway
- thickness = about 1.1" both rotors
- thickness variation = +/- 0.004" (same L and R rotors, measured in 5 places on each rotor)
- rotor warp: can't see any. Rotate each disk by hand. Gap under pads remains constant and absolutely tiny.
Any ideas what to test next?
