Johnny Basson Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 When I brake the whole car shudders. The Dodge agent where I service my vehicle advises that the rear discs and pads needs to be replaced. the car has only done 73 000km to date. Please advise? dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) Moving to the correct section. Pulsating brake pedal is indicative of warped rotors. I would follow your servicing dealers advise. You can replace the components yourself for less than the dealer will charge.

bigtsr Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Did they do a visual inspection? My brakes were done all around at 50,000 kms because I do so many city kms a lot of start/stop cycles. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 The shuddering would indicate warped rotors. Have they ever been turned? Depending on how much metal was removed on the lathe, you may be able to turn them again, and not have to replace them. aukfan33 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtomatoman Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 I only had shudder in the brake pedal. So mine were not as bad as you describe. I opted to ditch the OEM pads and rotors. I had EBC slotted rotors and greenstuff pads installed. They have been great. Stopping power seems very adequate even with the smaller 2011 calipers. Turning your rotors may just lead to the same headache all over again. Peace. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
