hi guys
I have apretty good feel with my car and im sure its in the rear.
there is no brake pulsation back through the pedal or the steering. I know what a warped disc feels like and also a worn or loose wheel bearing and its not that kind of shudder.
I have had several people in the car and all say its from the rear end as it shakes your ass
rear bearings and seals were new few thousand km ago, but the chatter was there from day one. its not just come on recently.
again, its not an out of round or balance type chatter. its like if you park on a hill and release just enough brake to let the car CREEP and you get that squeaky drag sound like running fingers glass as they grip and slide.
one thing I forgot to mention is I measured the padsd. they are both slightly tapered at top by 1mm. they are both evenly worn though at the leading edge(and yes I have chamfered the edges). its like the leading edge is wearing quicker than the trailing so it makes the pads a slight wedge shape.i have measured all the gaps and the calipers sit square and even. I guess its possible with the wedge shape it could be dragging the leading edge in and then popping out again creating the chatter. again kind of like bicycle brakes.
I have twin cylinders and balance bar, and have tried more and less bias to rear to see if it changes, but no real distinction.
anyone know what the caliper to pad max clearance should be, from the load face to load face.(top to bottom) on the lands. is .016" too much between pad and caliper?
car is off the road for few months now for rebuild and paint so road test is not possible, but as stated, diff is out so now is a good time to come up with some ideas.
thanks
