5:58 I learned this very quickly when first becoming a mechanic. That roller-coaster stomach drop feeling when you put it in reverse to back it out of the bay and have no pedal on the first pump is one you'll never forget.

Very informative video! I am really impressed by how concentrated you were on driving while performing break in! Your eyes were constantly looking in mirrors, at instrument panel, and looking ahead. Both hands on wheel and no distractions, thank you!

[@knsbrakes608]

Thank you and yes - use extreme caution on public roads. Other drivers are NOT expecting this or prepared for it.

So many opinions, and topics in the forums ... Your video easily and simply talks about 90% of the real causes of brake jitter. Did you have a problem when the detergent for the car spoils the track from the pads on the brake discs and causes the brake to shake?

Yea pry against the rotor... dont think so not unless u wish to create a judder

[@jasongodwin323]

Having the same issue. Had judder so replaced my discs and pads. After a couple of weeks the judder is back and is just as bad. Really annoying. Have no idea whats causing it 🤷🏼

Replaced my rotors n pads. Still haven't figure my issue out

Make sure wheels are aligned or is it only when braking?

I drive a 15’ Merc C Class W205 and every 3 months I have to have the discs and pads replaced due to juddering under braking. I’ve gone through 5 sets now. I only drive it once a week for less than 50 miles and do no sudden braking. Anyone know what might be causing this?

You may need to drive the car. Or sell it.

I was not given a reason but was told that garnet sandpaper is the only type of sand paper to use when sandind rotors

So your fix for said judder is to resurface or hone the rotor and replace pads? Riddle me this....30k miles on a car and they've been through 2 sets of ferodos and 1 set of hawk dtc70s along with 2 GM 1pc rotors and 1 2 pc rotor. Castrol SRF react and motul 650....fluids been done 2-3x a year. Brake judder always comes back. All pads properly bedded and the driver does not trail brake or ride the brakes. Mostly late braker with proper cool down periods. So what's that judder from?

[@knsbrakes608]

What car is this for? I suspect the cool temperature use is doing it. You could be stripping the transfer layer with a cold race pad - and yes that is a thing.
