hi, i brought a wr1 off a bloke about 4 month ago now, i was aware it had brake judder when i bought it so i got a few quid knocked off. i use it as a weekend car and iv only just got round to trying to fix this issue!
It has the brembo 4 pot calipers on, and the bloke before me has put the Tarox G88 front discs on it.
Heres the problem,
As soon as you get any heat into the brakes, the steering shakes like mad! you can feel it through the whole car. its got to the point that its nearly impossible to hold the steering wheel still! There is slight vibration through the brake pedal also.
if you have got the discs warm and this happens, if you wait half hour or so the brakes wont be nowhere near as bad once cooled.
when going upto traffic lights and you brake slowly, you can feel the car rocked to a stop.
so i decided to have the discs skimmed/resurfaced!
i also put new mintex pads on.
seemed ok for a few hours driving, but surely enough, the judder came back!
Iv had the discs off and tried a dti gauge on the hubs, its approx 0.06mm out both sides but i cant see that being a problem. iv also cleaned behind where the discs meet the hubs. no joy!
Open to suggestions!!!!
