Mondeo Brakes Juddering

Hi Guys,


New to this particular forum (not to MSE). I have a Ford Mondeo which will not pass it's MOT in December (bad rust last time scrapped through after a lot of welding). I'm after a new car asap, however I'm still driving the Mondeo right now for work. The problem is when I brake at higher speeds the car judders quit badly, like really noticeable. As I'm getting a new car very soon and scrapping the mondeo, I don't really want to pay money fixing it. Basically I'm asking is my life in danger with this car?!

  • Possibly?

    Could just require new brake pads and maybe discs as well or it maybe a steering or suspension balljoint thats seriously worn.

    You dont want a balljoint to fail, ever tried steering with your front wheels pointing in different directions?

  • Could be warped brake discs which will cause uneven wear but you won't be bothered about that if you are scrapping the car. If there is a suspension issue could be more dangerous. Maybe take it to a garage and ha ave them give it a once over and check it's not dangerous.
