Hi,
I understand it's common knowledge that the brakes on the AU1 aren't the best. My AU Fairmont wagon developed brake shudder. It's especcially bad after braking a couple of times, so that they warm up. I checked the brakes and found that the all the pads are at least 80%. The rotors on the back are 9 mm thick, the rotors on the front look thin, are 23.2 mm thick and I assume that they have been machined a couple of times. Both front roters seems to be a bit worped. I did some reading on this Forum and concluded that I most likely need new rotors. Although I am not the most sportive driver (depends a bit on mood) I figured that an upgrade to slotted DBA with Bendix CT seems to be a sensable one and this will cost me $ 300 on parts. What to you people think do I also have to replace the rotors and pads on the back or can I leave them as is? Thanks for your inputs. Bart |
