Jonno Member 79 Member For: 20y 1m 20d Posted 29/09/12 08:07 AM Posted 29/09/12 08:07 AM New front DBA 4000 rotors and Bendix pads, together with new rear disks and pads have not fixed my brake shudder problem. The shudder returns every 4,000 to 5,000 kms. Each time it does I have the front disks machined on the car.I live in the inner west of Sydney, and am hoping that someone can recommend a brake expert who can fix this problem once and for all.Thanks for your help. John.

If it was control arm it would be shuddering all the time, even straight after discs getting machined methinks?im leaning towards a caliper problem........

He is great at diagnosing the noises these cars make.Are these dba rotors brand new or just machined and re-machined.? Edited 29/09/12 10:57 AM by nelsonian101 2
