Facing off Brake discs

[trance]

I have the classic case of brake judder. Can anyone of you good chaps recommend any good machine shops in the Glasgow-Falkirk area?.

If the discs have done more than 20k miles, then it's probably better to just buy new discs, as by the time you take a mm or so off of them, they'll be close to or below the minimum wear limit on the discs.

It might not be warped discs, but judder caused by the transfer of resins onto the disc. In this case, you might get away with a light skim.

Hi john,

Thanks for the reply. The discs have maybe only done about 2-3k miles. Only bought them at the end of summer last year!!. The discs were bought as a kit and are not standard brake discs, (335mm) so i am not keen on just going out and buying another set just now!!. Not sure on the come back from the supplier, but judging by the no response from an e-mail, and what i have heard from other folk, they are never too willing to replace them.

Are the discs grooved? You could clean up the faces with some wet 'n dry to remove any uneven pad deposits. If they are grooved, check that there isn't a large amount of build up in the grooves themselves. A quick blast with a dremel to clean them out should help with judder.

I don't know of any places that can measure for run-out and skim them for you.

Cheers ozzy,

Had the disc's off a few weeks ago and never noticed any crap in the grooves. Think it stems back to the time i had them on the track, so most likely warped me thinks!!

Come on guys, some of you must have had this done?
