The front end of my 2001 Camaro SS shudders when I press the brake pedal at highway speeds (i.e. when slowing down on a highway off ramp). Its gotten to the point where I can see the hood shaking if I brake hard enough.
Replacing the brake pads and rotors (fronts only) reduced the shudder quite a bit but after only 200 miles its just as bad as it was before the pad and rotor replacements. I'm planning to regrease the bolts that the calipers slide on and retorque everything to spec just incase I missed something the first time around.
Any idea what's causing this brake shudder? The only thing that has been resolved with the pad and rotor change is now the steering wheel doesn't shake like it used to when braking. If I need to take this to a shop, is there something specific I can ask them to look at? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
