CL65 AMG w215 rear brake judder on heavy braking 80mph +
gentlemen,
I bought this beast recently and knew that one of the original rear rims had a flatspot on the inside edge. I put some new Brabus Monblock S 20's on with Dunlop rubber but still get the same rear end judder when braking above 80mph. On a run yesterday also noticed a faint squeak from L/H rear corner and what sounds like a cyclical "pattering" noise like a badly worn bearing ?
Any clues?
New front rotors and pads recently as this was suspected by MB to be cause.....fortunately just beore I purchased vehicle.
Appreciate sensible comments.
Thanks

problem solved
Just in case anyone else has this problem see if you can get a garage to skim the rear discs on the car . There was almost 4 mm rust and dust in great lumps on the inner side of the rear discs.... Now drives like new, stamp on the brakes hard every so often.
