shuddering from front

Post by thomas111 »

Hi guys was out this morning started to apply the front brake and got shuddering so could it be a disc or a sticky caliper

Old discs? After markets? Pulsating at lever? Any different at higher speed?
A sticky caliper would eventually cause a warped disc

Do the nut & bolt spin the bobbin trick first...Clean them all up & see if it makes a difference.

Then look at the callipers too make sure a piston isn't sticking, best check it as it will soon fek the new discs if it is sticking ... 8O
