Default Brake Judder

The car has started to judder when braking, is this the sign of warped disks??
Only does it on a fairly long brake, ie comming off the M roads down a slip road.

have you got split bells and rotors? Worth seperating and enduring there is not build up of deposits between the bell and rotor... worth getting it all off and giving a good clean and retesting before determining warped discs.

Sounds like a warped disk, but check the other bits first.

can you feel it through the steering wheel? or just the pedal? if yes, probably warped fronts.

If you lost a weight off the wheel it would judder at speed, not under breaking.
