Hey guys thanks for all the input and suggestions. Ive since replaced the brake booster with a refurbished one and so far my brakes are feeling a lot better, ill give it a good run and post the outcome. Cheers Xr50t, I had the slide pins checked by a mechanic to be sure before changing the booster, I was told they are in "good working order" and I have to admit the calipers themself seem very tidy, possibly allready been replaced by previous owner.

Ok just jacked it up after driving the car for a bit and the shudder started. Both sides of the car feel really tight, not loose in the slightest.... I turned the wheels while they are both off the ground and its quite hard to turn. Concidering ive allready backed the booster bolt all the way off, I think skidxr6t might be on the money. Might just change the brake booster and see how I go ?

Ill jack it up and check if there is any play, although this problem never occurs on a shorter drive... only ever seems to kick in after ive been driving for atleast say half an hour, or have been using the brakes. Definately feels brake related anyway. Thanks for suggestion though ill have a look into it

Yes the amount of times ive had to repeat myself to different mechanics saying that its not the calipers or the rotors that's causing the problem... I feel like im running out of problems, last resort would be changing the booster itself. Yeah I thought the same thing with the control arms but after jacking up the car when getting home from a drive, you try turn the wheels and can feel it holding it. After putting my foot on the brake a couple of times releasing the air left in the booster I can turn it freely

Hey guys, not sure if this is the right spot to post or not but I recently bought a xr6turbo and the brakes are sticking. Im allready aware that it is quite a common problem on ba / bf models that the brake boostee bolt is too long and and needs to be adjusted to stop the piston constantly touching the master cylinder. My problem is even after changing my rotors (which had heat spots all over them) and adjusting the brake booster rod back in, im still getting the notorious shudder, however its not nearly as bad as it was. Ps the brake booster rod is adjusted in as far as it phyiscally go's. Sooo im running out of options. Should I just replace the booster section itself or is there another work around or fix? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, sam.
