Brake pedal judder

Hey all - I've had this since I bought the car 3 months ago, but thought I'd get round to asking.

When I brake from above 60-70mph I get a bit of vibration/judder through the brake pedal when Im coming down, and it usually lasts till about 34-50mph.

Checked the front pads about a month ago and they looked ok, any suggestions?

No mate.

Just remembered, get a slight judder through the steering wheel when it happens too.

Sounds most likely like warped discs ... (or could be loose ball joints, or shock mountings ???)

Sounds right to me.

yup - agree here.... warped discs cause the steering wheel to vibrate under heavy braking, they will also wear you pads out quicker.... Get them looked at mate!

Oh great, how much is that going to cost then for new discs?

Check out the 'Guides' section under 'Brakes - Disks and Pads'.
