Brake Shuddering 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be johnh on  Wed Jul 17 13:16 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I've read several posts that mention a distinct shudder/vibration during braking. I had the same problem for about six months and finally cured it by installing new (to me) type shims in the rear brakes. The shim is cut out so the brake piston contacts the shim with half it's diameter while contacting the pad backing with the other half. I suppose the result is more pressure on the half of the pad covered by the shim. Anyway, they come from Volvo for about $10.00 a set and they cured my problem.

Did it myself. Took about 30 minutes for both rear brakes.
