Wheel wobble (not eu chat)

[chris gsi]

I have found rear drums to cause brake judder if they have been dropped or hit in the wrong place this was on a corsa c after new rear shoes and drums were fitted

Thanks, I've ordered two rear drums so fingers crossed.

Don't forget you'll need new bearings as well.

I have fitted new shoes, drums and bearings on the back, left the self adjusters at minimum. They haven't self adjusted so I'll need to do that manually however, there is still judder under hard braking so it can't be the rear as presently there is almost no brakes at the rear.

For the front I have replaced the discs, the pads are just about a year old and I couldn't find any slack mounting so I am totally puzzled. I also can't see or feel any uneveness/lumps in the tyres.

I am getting some wobble both through the steering and the body under hard braking, there is also an occasional small wobble detected on some roads when going downhill (ie no power on).

The rear brakes have been completely overhauled as a cylinder was leaking but since then this wobble has started.

I would have said it is brake discs (new 20k ago) but just seems to be a coincidence that it is just after doing the back brakes?

looking back through the thread just a couple of things I would do now.

bleed the whole braking system for any air and possibly upgrade your fluid?? You said you overhauled a rear cylinder and this is when your problems started......to me I would check and double check the fluid system again...perhaps the cylinder is no good or both rear cylinders need changing?

also, have you tried the rear tyres on the fronts just to eliminate any tyre issue you may have, although I find this unlikely, just another thing to try.

That will be tonights job!
