  • Brakes occassional shudder

    My brakes occasionally shudders when I hit (usually front tire) a small pot hole or a sudden bump @ approx. 40 km/h. This happens during a mild and constant brake. Any idea why is this so? I've read about brakes that shudders for Prado and says they're normal... but I am not convinced. I'm very concerned about the worst case scenario.

    Bump, under brake, I'd say ABS kicking in..

      Interesting why this happens on my Prado. My Missus car is a Tarago and I never experience any shudder.

        Heavier vehicle..
        Does yours have aftermarket suspension? Lift?

          I have noticed the same thing, road has to be very uneven and on the brakes with a decent about of pressure. There is a spot near my house that it happens to if I'm breaking to hard, to head around the corner.

          As MDSimpson mentions I have put it down to ABS, and not had it at the same place if I'm not breaking hard to get around the corner.

            Maybe the weight. Suspension are still factory and no lift has been done.

              Coming from a mountain biking background, I experienced brake chatter when light braking which sends an almighty vibration through the entire frame. on flat ground it was fine, out on the trails it wasn't. Turns out the wheel bearings had some play, and one of the brake pistons had stuck.
              Maybe check your front wheel bearings and brake calipers. And your ABS sensors.

              Or could be a bump making the tyre out-of-round which hits harmonic vibration frequency at a certain speed.

              Balancing won't help - you can balance an egg, a paint can lid, whatever, but it doesn't mean it will be smooth.

                I get this when coming into some driveways at speed and on the breaks, I put it down to the uneven ground.

                Had a VZ commodore that did the same thing at the same spots

                Must be my driving style :P
