Mondeo Brakes Juddering

gabriel1980

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.
