rockafellqeinstien Member 325 Member For: 16y 10m 18d Posted 11/12/12 10:45 PM Share Posted 11/12/12 10:45 PM Ok, I had lots of shudder early on with my FG.AFM pads and RDA slotted discs seemed to fix it. I am sure it was the original pads that were depositing crap on the rotors.it also started to happen again on my latest set of afm and rda's on the front - maybe I didnt bed them in proberly to start with.They were getting what looked like hot spots all over them and was "rumbleing when medium braking"anyway - following interweb instructions I did 5-6 stops from 80-100kmph using about 80% braking force.no more spots and no more noise - good as gold!!! from my research, if I didnt do this, it could have got to a stage where I couldnt have fixed them - if left to long. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83184-re-bed-your-brakes-easy-stops-shudder/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockafellqeinstien Member 325 Member For: 16y 10m 18d Posted 19/12/12 12:19 AM Author Share Posted 19/12/12 12:19 AM yeah QFM A1RM - must have been drinknig that night.from my research (I did a lot - my shudder was bad) you need to do the 80% brake from about 80kmh (a bit faster if you have hard pads) - 6 times - and have a minute or 2 between each and never totally stop.I also found out and believed to be true, never rough up a pad or rotor with sand paper or concrete and never drag a brake peddle to bed it in.
