Car Forum / Ford / Ford Falcon / October 2003Brake Shudder EB11
Iam getting intermittent shudder thru the steering column when I apply the brakes. Its intermittent and doesnt always occur,but is really bad on a downhill application of the brakes. It also seems worse after the car is warm (Maybe thats coz im driving faster) I have had the tyre balanced twice and they r ok,and they give no vibration under straight driving. Any ideas on the likely problem please the disks are warped, Have them replaced, machining is a waste of time and new ones aren't much anyway. > Iam getting intermittent shudder thru the steering column when I apply the > brakes.

Eh, its either lung cancer or constantly wearing brake disks. > How can discs warp as my BA seems to have the same problem? > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > > under straight driving. > > > Any ideas on the likely problem please >How can discs warp as my BA seems to have the same problem? FF your BA probably has DTV (disk thickness variation) as opposed to warping, its a known problem and fixed under warrenty with a light machining or in some cases replacement rotors. I hope so - sh.ts me as the car has only covered 11,500 odd km > >How can discs warp as my BA seems to have the same problem? > > FF your BA probably has DTV (disk thickness variation) as opposed to > warping, its a known problem and fixed under warrenty with a light > machining or in some cases replacement rotors. >I hope so - sh.ts me as the car has only covered 11,500 odd km I have had my BA XR front disks machined twice now and I have just covered 11,000km's. Another guy with a BA XR got new disks and our first BA purchase in Oct last year is perfectly OK Question is does the problem disappear permanently after the discs are machined or will it reappear at a later date? > >I hope so - sh.ts me as the car has only covered 11,500 odd km > > I have had my BA XR front disks machined twice now and I have just > covered 11,000km's.

Yes it can do, but from what I can gather, the first machining cures the problem. They will machine the rotors a max of 3 times, after that they will replace them although I do known of replacements after one machining. Some times my ea shuddered, so i took off teh pads and filed off the shiney surface and problem went away could also be incorrect type of pads as they skim across and create a smooth surface and bit everynow and then worse at low speed try scuffing down all ya pads Peter > Iam getting intermittent shudder thru the steering column when I apply the > brakes.

U r right its far worse at low speed than high speed Tks Try removing all ya padsand remove the smooth surface i used wet and dry with a course type, worked fine now all squealing and biting has gone Peter > The Raven: U could have something there,its sure worth a try,coz even if the > rotors r cheap,they will then want to the bearings/pads and everything > else,and it wont end up a cheap job. > U r right its far worse at low speed than high speed > > Tks It's worse in summer - heaps of Falcons have brake squeal probs due to glazed pads from the heat. Sand 'em back first 'reckon.

Just a bit of info anyhoo. Gaz > Iam getting intermittent shudder thru the steering column when I apply the > brakes.
