S1an1de Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Ok so i'm firing this around to pick brains before i ineptly dismantle the rear wheels on the z. Symptoms.. 1) Braking from anything over 45Mph and there is a noticible "juddering" from what appears to be the rear passenger side of the car. 2) The juddering is not coming through the steering. 3) Handling doesnt appear to be affected at all [but i drive like grandma anyways] 4) Under hard acceleration from 30Mph there is a small metalic Squeal that can be heard in the cabin. thoughts... wheel hub or knackered brake disk?

scobie140 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Sounds like a warped disc, could you get your wheel off then stick a clock guage on the disc and take run our readings. This will tell you if its warped or not. If it is you'll need it either skimmed or replaced but i would also be looking to see why it has wapred, seized piston, excessive use etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon Chris Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I'd guess at slightly seized rear piston as the root coause but could it be as simple as inside brake pad worn down to nothing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
