Getting rid of brake judder or pulsation
Recently I'm noticing shaking or vibration when braking on the freeway off ramp.
Not sure if its winter related with the super cold temps, snow and what not but this braking vibration wasn't there when I bought the car.
Rear pads and rotors have less than 4k miles on them, fronts pads are 1/3 worn. I do know the wheels have been torqued properly. Rotors are rather expensive and of course not covered under my CPO.
Any easy fix? Does stomping on the brakes really hard several times in a row work and a viable solution?

Fact: Rotors do not warp. Its brake pad deposit unevenly on top of rotor face resulting in runout called disc variance thickness. it has happened twice on my 4 to Audi A7. Oem rotors are not great and get hot very fast under heavy braking. I got stoptech rotors and wow they are much better braking performance and have done well with 8k on them without issues. ..You need to replace your rotors

And no do not do that stoping hard several times with oem pads or rotors to fix it. It will make it worse. Go for stoptech rotors which are far better price and look cool especially the drilled and slotted ones Stick with oem semi metallic pads or go for posi quiet
