Hey guys

 

Im sorry if this has been covered before but like everyone will say, were all in different situations some how lol :D

 

Basically the guy before me changed the brake discs to drilled and grooved and its really juddery when braking from 50mph or 90mph to a slower speed and then still when lifting off. ?

 

I think the pads need changing as they look about just under half way through but other than that i cant really work out why its doing it .

 

oh my car is a 1997 jspec TT with 19" jade r wheels.

 

any help would be amazing

thanks

Hope this helps;

 

Excessive Temperature & Rapid Wear

Fault;

Friction material overheating and disc surface thermal cracks (blueing)

Causes;

Sticking brake calipers (sliders/piston seals), Axle/Wheel imbalance, Excessive prolonged braking (drag)

 

Friction Material Fractures

Fault;

Friction material cracks/fractures

Causes;

Pad restriction within caliper housing (flexing of pad/backplate(s)), impact damage during installation

 

New Pads Fitted On Worn Discs

Fault;

Rapid wear, noise and judder

Causes;

Excessively worn/grooved brake disc surface

 

Brake Disc Contamination

Fault;

Low brake efficiency

Causes;

Contaminated disc surfaces, (oils, solvents, cleaners)

 

Uneven Pad Wear

Faults;

Uneven pad wear

Causes;

Poor alignment of brake caliper, poor alignment of brake disc/hub

Fault;

Uneven pad wear between 'inboard and outboard' pads

Causes;

Sticking brake caliper (insufficient lubrictaion of caliper sliders), worn/damaged piston seals

 

Brake Noise & Judder

Faults;

Brake noise and judder

Causes;

Dirty wheel hub

 

Brake Noise

Faults;

Brake noise

Causes;

Pads are tight in caliper (see scratch mark evidence on pad backplate edges). Uneven pad/disc contact, worn/grooved brake discs, excessively corroded brake discs.

 

Recommended Maximum Disc Run-Out

Good Practice;

Always remember to check disc run-out before fitting new brake pads. (Maximum disc run-out on vehicle 01.5mm)

Problems;

Excessive run-out will cause noise, judder, uneven pad wear and poor brake efficiency.

 

Brake Disc Damage

Faults;

Thermal Cracks (Blueing)

Causes;

Rapid pad wear, brake judder, vehicle vibration and brake noise.

 

Brake Disc Failure

Faults;

Top Hat detachment

Causes;

Overtightening of wheel nuts (careful use of air pressure guns is required)

 

Friction Material Detachements

Faults;

Friction material detachment

Causes;

Impact damage during pad removal/installation and/or excessive corrosion.
