Hello, My car is slightly shaken (studdering) the split second before the car is coming to a complete stop. It usually happens in the morning when the car was first driven. It appears to be ok later on in the day. I suspected something has to do with the brake caliber? Please, any ideas?
thanks

Hi there,

This may be a bit of glazing of the pads & rotors, a light cut of the rotors should ease this problem.
