when i have changed direction from forwards to backwarse or v.v. as i apply the braks they shudder something shocking. this does not happen if after reversing i do not brake, just role to a stop and then drive off but if i brake during revering it happens and then it happens againg if i brak while going slow forwards (10km/h or less). i think the pads are ok, although i have heard that the problem could be the pins in the callipers. is this so? and if so what should i do and what might it cost?
 
yes it most likly is in the pins but we are only guessing :( some times it is the springs on the pads to...
best to take it to some one who knows the problem and can see it happen... :)
then you are not stuffing around wasting time stressing about it any more :)
if you want to drop around i am happy to tell you what it is, i am in box hill. and yes i am a work shop but no i am not offering to do the job.. :)
if it is slide pins they are only genuine so not that cheap.. :(
regards paul.
