K1 - Road Test

NOTE: Brake shudder has been found to be most apparent when braking from speeds around 112-120 km/h (70-75 mph). Therefore, subject to local road conditions/speed limits, the vehicle should be driven as near to that speed as possible during the road test.

- When safe to do so, apply the brakes. The shudder can be identified by steering wheel vibration and brake pedal pulsation. Repeat this step to confirm shudder.

NOTE: Allow 1.6 km (1 mile) between each application to allow the brakes to cool.

- Is a shudder present?

YES -- Go to K2. K2 - Rear or Front Brake Shudder

NO -- Diagnose and repair as necessary.
