    Brake "shudder" and a hangover

    I have a huge hangover so I hope this discription makes sense.

    When I depress the brake pedal down to stop the car it makes a "shudder" feel towards the bottom of the travel. At first it only did it as I was braking while turning left. Now I notice as the car has set for a few minutes. I think the pads are good. Rotors look good. Fluid is good.

    Is there something I should look for?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Replace your control arm bushings with urethane, unless this is a pedal feel issue, not a braking issue.

      Go eat a Kiwi or three bananas and 4 aspirin, suck some water down. Best you can do with a hangover.

          Alka-Seltzer's hangover relief stuff works pretty well.

              Go for a jog. Run it out of you. It will work, but I doubt you'll do it. It sounds like a horrible idea when you're hung over.

              Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

                  Thanks guys. That cognac hurts. Prob the red wine for dinner followed by Lemoncello shots.

                  I thought it might be bushings. Is this just a visual inspection?

                      Found out something. The anti-lock light came on and the sypmtoms stopped. So I think it might be in the ABS system.

                      Hangover is gone, beer me!
