PEDAL DE FRENO RESALTA Y VIBRACIONES EN EL VOLANTE AL FRENAR
Causa: Material de fricción de las pastillas de freno.
Asistencia Tecnica:
-Sustituir pastillas de freno por la referencia de recambios número XXX
-Sustituir además los 2 discos de freno anteriores.
-- Asegurar el asentamiento plano adecuado entre el disco de freno y el buje de rueda eliminando posibles rebabas, gotas de pintura, oxido, ...) que puedan provocar alabeo axial excesivo del disco.
- Asegurar la máxima coincidencia posible entre el eje de giro del buje de rueda y el eje de giro del disco de freno realizando un autocentraje progresivo con cinco tornillos de rueda cortados en su parte final para que al apretarlos no dañen los rotores de los sensores del ABS. Se colocan los cinco tornillos y se aprietan hasta el final. Una vez centrado el buje de rueda con el disco de freno, fijar el disco de freno al buje de rueda con el tornillo de fijación y apretarlo según Manual de Reparaciones. Seguidamente extraer los cinco tornillos de rueda y fijar la rueda al conjunto disco-buje con los cinco tornillos de rueda (sin cortar). Hacer prueba de funcionamiento.

The brake pedal judders might also be an option. I\'m not sure that the concept is the pedal of bouncing up/back repeatedly, but I couldn\'t imagine a brake pedal doing this. I\'m not a car mechanic though :)

I can well imagine the second part of the steering wheel vibrating/shuddering on braking, as I\'ve experienced this before.

Judders would be better here, I think due to the foreign material on the brakepad.
