Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / September 2005306 shudders when braking!
My m reg 306 has just come back from mot (not sure yet what it had done) - but when it came back the rear of the car shudders, the brake pedal shudders and so does the steering wheel when you apply a fair bit of brake. I tried pulling the handbrake up a bit when driving and this also does the same thing? Another symptom of it is - when i have parked the car up for a while with the hand brake on, the rear wheels seem locked on when i come to move the car, they then just kind of click and free them selves when i reverse. Any help would be great! i am far from being a mechanic. > My m reg 306 has just come back from mot (not sure yet what it > had done) - but when it came back the rear of the car [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > click and free them selves when i reverse.

Funnily enough, i have the same problem on my `95 306 Dturbo, i get the judder under light braking 40mph + , got the car up on the ramp at work with the handbrake lever pulled up a few clicks, turned the wheel and felt strong and light spots in the stopping power. So i thought maybe drums distorted? Put Brembo drums on and changed the bearings to be safe, they needed changing either way due to lipped + corroded edges,improved problem a little bit but is still there, i know its from the rear because you can drive along and lift the handbrake slightly and it feels like your rolling on an egg from the rear. I have yet to further investigate, anybody got any ideas what to look out for? to be honest i think it could only be offset stub axles? Let me know how you get on > My m reg 306 has just come back from mot (not sure yet what it had > done) - but when it came back the rear of the car shudders, the brake [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > click and free them selves when i reverse.

This usually happens when you have a leaking brake cylinder (a common fault with the 306 of that era). Did your car pass it's MOT ok? It sounds like it should have failed on braking efficiency. I also had similar symptoms with my 306 with a failing handbrake cable causing the rear nearside shoe to bind to the drum.

Then I will step back and let more experienced 306 owners offer their opinion :-) Jim
