Brake Judder Repair Hints

Description

1.Brake judder concern has the following 3 characteristics:

Steering wheel vibration

1.The steering wheel vibrates in the rotation direction. This characteristic is most noticeable when
applying brakes at a vehicle speed of 100—140 km/h {62.2—86.9 mph}.

Floor vibration

1.When applying the brakes, the vehicle body shakes back and forth. The seriousness of the shaking is
not influenced by vehicle speed.

Brake pedal vibration

1.When applying the brakes, a pulsating force tries to push the brake pad back. The pulsation is
transmitted to the brake pedal.

2.The following are the main possible causes of brake judder:

Due to an excessive runout (side-to-side wobble) of the disc plate, the thickness of the disc plate is
uneven.

1.If the runout is more than 0.1 mm {0.004 in} at the position 10 mm {0.39 in} from the disc plate edge,
uneven wear occurs on the disc plate because the pad contacts the plate unevenly.

2.If the runout is less than 0.1 mm {0.004 in}, uneven wear does not occur.

The disc plate is deformed by heat.

1.Repeated panic braking may raise the temperature in some portions of the disc plate by approx.
1,000 °C {1,832 °F}. This results in a deformed disc plate.

Due to corrosion, the thickness and friction coefficient of the disc plate change.

1.If the vehicle is parked in damp conditions for a long time, corrosion occurs on the friction surface of the
disc plate.

© 2018 Mazda Motor Corporation.


2.The thickness of corrosion is uneven and sometimes appears like a wave pattern, which changes the
friction coefficient and causes a reaction force.

Inspection and repair procedure

ac5uuw00007531

Lateral runout inspection

1.Remove the wheel and tire. (See WHEEL AND TIRE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

2.Remove the rear brake caliper component and suspend it out of the way using a cable. (See REAR
BRAKE DISC REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

© 2018 Mazda Motor Corporation.


ac5uuw00008040

3.To secure the disc plate and the hub, insert the washer (thickness 10 mm {0.39 in}, inner diameter more
than 12 mm {0.47 in}) between each hub bolt and the hub nut, then tighten all the hub nuts.

Note

• The component parts of theSST(49 B017 001 or 49 G019 003) can be used as a suitable washer.

4.After tightening all the hub nuts to the same torque, put the dial gauge on the friction surface of the disc
plate 10 mm {0.39 in} from the disc plate edge.

ac5jjw00010808

5.Rotate the disc plate one time and measure the runout.

4.Subtract the minimum value from the maximum, and if the result is not within the specification, machine
the disc plate using a lathe.

Thickness variation limit

0.015 mm {0.00059 in}

Warning

• Do not exceed minimum disc plate thickness.

Disc Plate Thickness Inspection

Caution

• Excessive runout may result if the disc plate is removed from the vehicle then machined. Machine
the disc plate while installed on the vehicle.

1.Remove the wheel and tire. (See WHEEL AND TIRE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

2.Measure the thickness of the disc plate.

Minimum rear disc plate thickness

8.0 mm {0.3 in}

Minimum rear disc plate thickness after machining using a brake lathe on-vehicle

Brake Judder Repair Hints

Description

1.Brake judder concern has the following 3 characteristics:

Steering wheel vibration

1.The steering wheel vibrates in the rotation direction. This characteristic is most noticeable when
applying brakes at a vehicle speed of 100—140 km/h {62.2—86.9 mph}.

Floor vibration

1.When applying the brakes, the vehicle body shakes back and forth. The seriousness of the shaking is
not influenced by vehicle speed.

Brake pedal vibration

1.When applying the brakes, a pulsating force tries to push the brake pad back. The pulsation is
transmitted to the brake pedal.

2.The following are the main possible causes of brake judder:

Due to an excessive runout (side-to-side wobble) of the disc plate, the thickness of the disc plate is
uneven.

1.If the runout is more than 0.04 mm {0.002 in} at the position 10 mm {0.39 in} from the disc plate edge,
uneven wear occurs on the disc plate because the pad contacts the plate unevenly.

2.If the runout is less than 0.04 mm {0.002 in}, uneven wear does not occur.

The disc plate is deformed by heat.

1.Repeated panic braking may raise the temperature in some portions of the disc plate by approx.
1,000 °C {1,832 °F}. This results in a deformed disc plate.

Due to corrosion, the thickness and friction coefficient of the disc plate change.

1.If the vehicle is parked in damp conditions for a long time, corrosion occurs on the friction surface of the
disc plate.

© 2018 Mazda Motor Corporation.


2.The thickness of corrosion is uneven and sometimes appears like a wave pattern, which changes the
friction coefficient and causes a reaction force.

Inspection and repair procedure

ac5uuw00007446

Lateral runout inspection

1.Remove the wheel and tire. (See WHEEL AND TIRE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

2.Remove the front brake caliper component and suspend it in a place out of the way using a cable. (See
FRONT BRAKE DISC REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [WITH SINGLE PISTON FLOATING CALIPER].) (See
FRONT BRAKE DISC REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [WITH 2-PISTON FLOATING CALIPER].)

© 2018 Mazda Motor Corporation.


ac5uuw00007447

3.To secure the disc plate and the hub, insert the washer (thickness 10 mm {0.39 in}, inner diameter more
than 12 mm {0.47 in}) between each hub bolt and the hub nut, then tighten all the hub nuts.

Note

• The component parts of theSST(49 B017 001 or 49 G019 003) can be used as a suitable washer.

4.After tightening all the hub nuts to the same torque, put the dial gauge on the friction surface of the disc
plate 10 mm {0.39 in} from the disc plate edge.

ac5wzw00000197

5.Rotate the disc plate one time and measure the runout.

Front disc plate runout limit

0.04 mm {0.002 in}

Thickness variation inspection

1.Remove the wheel and tire. (See WHEEL AND TIRE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

2.Clean the disc plate-to-pad friction surface using a brake cleaner.

3.Measure the points indicated in the illustration using a caliper (micrometer).

ac5uuw00007448

4.Subtract the minimum value from the maximum, and if the result is not within the specification, machine
the disc plate using a lathe.

Thickness variation limit

0.015 mm {0.00059 in}

Warning

• Do not exceed minimum disc plate thickness.

Disc Plate Thickness Inspection

Caution

• Excessive runout may result if the disc plate is removed from the vehicle then machined. Machine
the disc plate while installed on the vehicle.

1.Remove the wheel and tire. (See WHEEL AND TIRE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

2.Measure the thickness of the disc plate.

Minimum front disc plate thickness

26.0 mm {1.02 in}
