Not strictly confined to Audi but I know the readers of this list have so
much more experience than the usual repair techs!
There have been many articles written about juddering under braking, not
the least by Stop Tech who essentially say warped discs are not the problem.
I put new discs, pads, and tyres on my Subaru within the last month and
bedded them in in the usual manner. Brake as hard you like from 55mph and all is
smooth. At running speeds in the 60-80mph range there is a slight vibration
through the steering normally associated with wheel balancing. Brake from the
60-80mph range and there is a sever judder until the speed drops below 55 or
so.
Local technician, at very well respected servicing outfit who also
installed the tyres, drove the car and said to replace the discs.
Question? Anyone experienced another cause for the judder such as tie
rod ends, steering knuckle, or simply alignment?
