Hi all had my rear brakes done while working away , new drums shoes cilinders and pipes my handbrake light is staying on and lm feeling juddering in the pedal would love your answers after what ive been told cheers bri

When I had mine done I had to adjust the shoes myself... As you say a kind of judder/ pulsing feeling

I had the same issue after rebuilding the rear brakes including fitting new Febi drums. I put the old drums back on and the pulsing went away. I Sent the new drums back and they refunding me.

Same here, new drums but....heavy pulsing. I ended up changing just the one, after clamping off the flexi lines one at a time.
However, two years on and at times I can still feel a very slight action in the pedal..no complaints as it is very slight.

I clamped mine too. One was worse than the other but neither was acceptable so I returned both.

What brand did you use?

Not sure now TBH, it wouldn't be fair to guess, however, brakes do tend to be one of those things that must be a quality brand otherwise you will have problems.

Look for Brembo/ATE/Jurid

As mr California says... I improved it but it's still there...

So what is causing this as it isn't the first time that I have heard of this. Far Eastern cheapies masquerading as well known and formerly trusted makes? Cheap recycled metal with stresses in the metal that are distorting them as soon as some heat from braking is applied?

Thanks for the replies me be try other drums take them back thanks bri

I think you are right....trusted brands seem to be out sourcing supply and quality has declined. Companies trade and source globally so we can no longer count on a particular brand being manufactured in its country of origin, where perhaps quality control is more stringent.

I despair sometimes at the level of returns/faulty goods...I'm sure it was never this bad..lol rose tinted specs perhaps.
