Brakes Stuttering? Here's What Causes It And What To Do
Table of Contents
Brake stuttering, also known as brake judder or pulsation, is primarily caused by warped rotors, worn or glazed brake pads, stuck calipers, and faulty ABS sensors, creating a pulsing sensation in the pedal or steering wheel during braking. These issues arise from overheating, uneven wear, or mechanical faults, compromising stopping power and safety. Addressing them promptly prevents escalation to costlier repairs.
Understanding Brake Stuttering Mechanics
Brake stuttering occurs when friction between pads and rotors becomes inconsistent, transmitting vibrations through the chassis.
