Slight judder when braking...

[Roy2593]

Hi,

When I bought my X5 i November both front discs and pads were changed. When i brake at about 50-60 mph it starts to judder again slightly, but not as bad as when i had the car to start with.

Could one of the discs be cracked or warped already?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Roy.

I doubt it is the brakes if you just had them recently changed. I would check the bushes on the tie-rods and any other bushes in on the front axle. Vibration can travel from anywhere.

The other thing to check is if in the cold you have lost some wheel weights and now they are out of balance?

Chances are It will be your front tension arm bushes.

Are your Calipers ok? If one is seized you may get a bit of judder, car will tend to pull to one side when braking heavily too...
