406 1.9td pulsing brakes

Post by caveman_si »

The brakes seem very sharp (way sharper then my last car a pug 405 1.9td) and they feel like they are pulsing and the steering wheel shuders when breaking. Especially noticable when breaking hard but still present when breaking gently!
Im guessing its just the discs and pads need changing at the front any body any other possible causes?

cheers gents

Does sound like the disks are worn out or warped,hence the shudder.More noticable when braking hard as theresmore heat generated.My Xantia used to get through a set of disks every year,as they would get to hot & warp.Did`nt matter what make of disks i got,they all did it.
