Rear Discs

[alluny]

Please can someone advise..

Am getting slight judder when breaking and it feels like it is from the rear of the car. Have had new discs and pads on the front a while ago, but this has only recently started. Am thinking off changing the rear discs and pads. Itfeels like a warped disc! At slow speed it seems to be grabbing... ANY THOUGHTS

How tricky is this job and does it require any special tooling to remove the discs and calipers

Lexus parts are probably best but has anyone any info on pattern or performance parts

Regards

Well, brake Experts say normal road cars never have warped disc's.... it's a common misconception apparently

personally i'd check the pistons first as mine was sticking at the rear and gave a similar effect to what your describing, also noticed that one rear wheel was way hotter than the other....

Had a front piston stick before too, must be a bad design.... :(

Thankyou,

Just checked the mot certificate and it had an advise that rear nearside caliper slightly sticking.... so that will be it then.

Can these be freed up by cleaning or is the only resolve to replace?

Please advise, and again how tricky is this to perform

can be freed by application of silicon grease - any gaarage can do this but be aware it may not last.
