NBS brake flutter?

[tat2dtrash]

Hey. New to the forum and to owning a Tahoe. Bought it about 3 months ago and still working on getting it right. Have already been tearing all the bull@#$t off of it and will post pics of before and after soon. In the meantime, I have aweful brake problems. There is a slow speed brake flutter. I can hear it and feel it in the pedal, like an ABS problem. I had an old company vehicle that did the same thing. Is this a common problem? Hope to get an easy answer before I spend two weeks chasing down the problem.lol I searched it on the forum and couldn't find anything. If there is another thread on this problem, please direct me there. Thanks in advance.

does the steering wheel shake also?

 

[tat2dtrash]

No. Thats whats crazy, and it only does it at low speeds, like backing out of a parking space, or a slow approach to a stop sign. Sometimes, if I let off of the brake and re-apply, it will go away. Seems to brake fine any other time. No pulling or grinding. I was thinking it might be the ABS motor. Not sure though.

No codes at all. No Lights. It doesn't do it all the time, either. Only on occasion, and not ever in the same occasion. Not just when it's cold, hot, off camber, nothing in particular, just at random.

ok this is what you do, sell it and buy another one lol.


Found something similar to what you are talking about. Maybe it will help.

No doubt.lol The thought has crossed my mind. That link sounds like that might be the same problem. I appreciate it. I will definately look into it more. Thanks.

I literally just walked in from putting the final fixes on my brake system (new FR brake hose, rebult EBCM ABS/TC control module, new ceramic pads on new slotted rotors and a new caliper, plus new fluid). I know exactly what you're talking about. It sounds to me like you have warped rotors. Look into that and let me know.

I would pull the abs fuse and that will tell you if it's the problem.
