RE: Warped disc help
Hi Robert
In a round about way I tried this on the way home from work yesterday, I went and got the front wheels re balanced, so the wheels had to come off and go back on. Re balancing oddly enough has made a big difference, there is still a little judder evident but it's not as bad as before. I think I will wait until the pads have worn out (quite new) before I look at upgrading. Thanks for the reply though.
Regards
Iain

Iain,
Warped disks sound like a possibility. Before making a major investment
try retorqueing the lug bolts. Loosen them and torque them back down to 81
ft-lbs. This may be enough to remove the shudder. If not, well, it was a
cheap try.

>I need some help on what I think is warped discs ( 1986 CoupeQ). When
braking from say 80mph to around 55mph I get a judder through the steering
wheel and a bit through the brake pedal. Below 55mph I get little or no
judder at all. If a brake hard from 55mph I get little or no judder at all.
Why do I get the judder at higher speed. I have replaced shocks, top
mounts, bump stops , wheel bearings. A arm bushes are ok, the only other
bushes I need to do are the roll bar bushes in the A arm, but I don't think
this would cause the problem. Warped discs or something else? If it is
warped discs any BTDT on upgrades like cross drilling and grooving.
