Odd Shudder Under Hard Braking
Recently I've encountered a weird tendency for the car to shudder when I brake fairly hard (well before the threshold of locking, but not as light as stopping for a stoplight). It could be that my wheels might need to be rebalanced, since I've been getting high speed shudders. Any takers on what could be causing the braking shudder?

Excessive pad material build-up on the rotor possibly. Check for spotting of the rotors (darker spots, etc.). Other cases are rotor run-out (aka warped rotor), and poor pad wear due to improper break-in.
As a side note Checkered, typically uneven pad wear is a problem in the caliper, and or improper bedding procedure. You might wanna check the caliper for proper function as well.

I have a set of rear calipers ... $50 + ship takes em.tenkawa_akito wrote:it may be coming from one of the rear calipers. I know one of them is on its way out, but I don't have the money to replace or repair it at the moment, and was gonna let it ride the way it is for now till i can afford to replace it.
I've got a bunch of people that want them, but no one seems to come up with the money.
