What Causes Brake Shudder?
1 Answers
Here are the related causes of brake shudder: 1. Brake shudder is usually caused by uneven wear of the brake disc: For example, if the outer side is thicker than the inner side or vice versa, during braking, the brake pads clamp the brake disc vertically. If the brake disc is uneven and does not fully contact the brake pads, it will cause shudder. The higher the speed, the more severe the shudder, and the harder it is to stop the vehicle. 2. It may occur when using low-quality brake pads or during the initial period after replacing new brake pads: Low-quality brake pads contain more metal content, making them harder and more prone to resonance when rubbing against the metal brake disc, amplifying vibrations and causing shudder. Therefore, after installing new brake pads, it is advisable to drive cautiously for a certain mileage and avoid emergency braking.
