Well im hoping somebody is going to be able to shed some light on the cause of this problem im having because me and my dad are completely out of ideas as to what could be causing it.
The problem: As i brake from around 100km the steering wheel and the entire car except for the brake pedal start to shudder. As i pass about 70km/hr the entire car starts to shudder like crazy, enough to rattle fillings out ya teeth. then by 50km/hr it is gone. then (this could be unrelated) as you come to a stop the brakes make a sort of clicking noise.
Things we've tried:
1- Got the mic out and checked the discs were the same thickness all the way around which they were.
2- Checked the calipers werent loose which they were not.
3- Checked the pad material (plenty left) and if they were loose which they were not.
4- Checked the steering rack wasnt loose which it wasnt,
5- Checked the wheel bearings wasnt loose which it wasnt.
6- Checked the wheels themseves were not buckled which they were not.
Am going to get a wheel alignment done next week but dont think this will help as the problem only occurs when the brakes are applied. Also the brakes are completely standard.
Hope someone can help because me and my dad whose been an engineer for the last 30 years are completely out of ideas.
