Default Brake judder

Not sure if this thread is in the right place as ive not been on here for awhile.Ok ive started to get really bad brake judder more at higher speeds, when i press foot hard on brake. Also when im driving slow and when i brake the car feels like it rocky back and forwards slighty (hard to discribe) another thing is that my tyres are wearing down in the inside fairly bad, ive had my tracking checked so thats fine. Can anyone plz help, ive felt the discs and they dont feel and look fine. Could this be down to bottom ball joints etc, as ive noticed a slight clunk on the drivers side when i go over a speed bump.

hi mate,

more than likely warped disks = fit new. are you sure it the bottom ball joint making a clunk? have you checked the anti roll bar drop links?

so i've heard the correct definition for a "warped disc" is a "heated disc" apparently discs cannot warp as such, they become heated and there shape properties change

Hi I had this on mine with the front 4 pots the inner 2 pots has seized slightly causing the brake pedal to judder and if left can cause high spots on the disks giving warped disk effect.
Pull the pads out and check the pistons are free

You get this a lot with the S2000's poor brakes.

Check them out and also look at Brakes International for brake parts, very cheap and good quality.

Either warped discs or a sticky piston on one calliper.
