Anybody got a suggestion as to what may cause brake judder that only happens when braking from high (i.e. motorway) speeds after running without applying the brakes for several minutes?
If progressively apply the brakes, the judder subsides; come off the brakes and then reapply them and everything's fine (no judder). If I stand on the brakes to bring the car down from, say, 80mph to near standstill in one go, I get judder right the way down. It's as though something has to be re-centred after being thrown out of true when rotating at high speed. I'm getting some vibration back through the steering wheel running at 75+mph, no brakes applied. The car doesn't pull to one side under braking. Could corrosion of the alloy wheels on their mounting face cause this?
