I have just jacked up my car to take out the angel eyes for the satndards as i am selling. I turned the engine on to check how both wheels were spinning as i do get abit of brake judder.

When they were spinning the drivers side one was going pretty damn fast which i assume is fine.

The passengers side one started off quite slow and slowed right down, and was taking around 5 or 6 seconds to do a complete turn.

I turned the engine off and spun the wheels by hand and at a certain point while spinning i could hear something scraping (i assume its the disc tocuhing the pad...?

Is this the most likely cause of the brake judder?

Also it pulls to the right when im driving aswel.. could this be due to the above?

Thx

I take it thats just a case of taking wheel off and then them to check? Never done em before u see.

I only got this brake judder after i had my car lowered 30/35mm aswell :S which is very odd?
