Hi Guys,
I've posted on this forum about rear brake issues, seemingly around a sticky caliper piston.
I'm now experiencing front brake shudder (my honda seems to have a sense of humour around brakes lol).
I have a 2009 Accord Type S. The front calipers are dual piston. I have recently (~6-9 months ago) changed the guide pins, rubber boots, pads and discs on the front.
Previous to that I had experienced brake shudder. Immediately jumping to conclusions I blamed it on warped discs.
Having had the discs replaced, within the week the shudder had returned. At the time I didn't have the cash to try and address the issue. Now I do and I am looking for advice.
There seems to be 4 common ***umptions around brake shudder:
1. Warped discs
2. Sticky, or partially sticky caliper
3. Collapsing flex brake line
4. Failed Suspension bushings
Having 99% ruled out option 1, I wanted peoples opinions and experiences on the other 3 issues.
The shudder is felt through the car, not the steering on brake peddle. It feels like the car is lurching slightly as it shudders. It is felt when the cars decelerates through ~40mph to stand still.
That's as much info as I can think of right now.
Also, are there any tricks of the trade to identify which side the issue is with. The car isn't pulling at all when under braking when the shudder happens.
