I have a 2008 Ford expedition limited (extended/max), it has 225,000 miles and runs great, doesn't use any oil or make any strange noises, however whenever I apply the brakes, the car judders badly, I thought I must have a warped disk, so I replaced the 2 frond disks (i guessed after 225,000 miles they would be worn) but they were within spec, but I changed them anyway , the car still judders. I assumed it must therefore be the rear disks that are warped, so I replaced both rears, but I still have juddering everytime I apply the brakes. If I apply the brakes very gently, then the juddering is very light or not there at all, but under normal usage they judder as soon as I start braking.. Any idea what might cause this? I am thinking maybe bad wheel bearings? I am not hearing any strange noises when I jack the car up and rotate each of the wheels, could it be bad track rod ends or ball joints? as its all under compression, I will probably have to take it to a garage and get them to pull the fornt end apart and find the cause, but wanted to ask if anyone had any suggestions? I replaced the brake pads at the same time I changed the disks so all brake pads are new (that was both the parking brake pads and the disk pads at the rear!).
