I have been experiencing rear end shudder under braking for the last year. Only feel it in the pedal and not in the steering wheel. It has progressively gotten worse. I am tired of throwing money at it so I ask the G35 Gods for help.

What I have replaced:

-New Rotors
-New Pads
-New Calipers
-New set of Wheels (old/new wheels have been balanced)
-New Wheel Bearings (yes went this far)

At this point I have replaced every component brake related I can think of. This leads me to believe it may possibly be suspension related. Maybe some bushing or something that gets stressed under braking

Car only has 70k
Bone stock no mods whatsoever

 

Heeeeeelp anyone

 

Check your lower L/R Compression Rod Bushings. Another area to check.

 

Have you replaced your front brake stuff yet?

 

Yes, when this all started about a year ago I resurfaced front/rear rotors with new pads and it helped a little, but it was still there.

I think I am going to take a different approach and get all new rotors/pads in the front even though shudder is in the rear. If that does nothing I will start looking at suspension components.

This is the only car I have ever purchased new and babied it from day one, but it has given me the biggest problems. I still love this car and am not giving up on it.

 

Well after slapping new rotors & pads in the front the vibrations are now gone and the G brakes like new. What puzzles me is all the vibes were coming from the back. Oh well I've got a whole new braking system all the way around after $350.

 

what brand did you end up going with?

 

Went with Napa brand rotors & pads.
