Hi friend,
You may go to any workshop with good quality of servicing work to replace
your drum brake hydraulic mechanism.

If just the drum brake hydraulic mechanism problem, just around RM 50++
c/w labour cost.


Have a nice day.

this problem is called brake judder.

normally due to either the disc rotor uneven surface or brakde pads too
thin.

my car is BL auto, but i faced similar problems during 18,000km or
sumthing like that.

last 2 months the brake pads worn out. and i was caught by surprise that
the mileage was only 25,000km. so watch out if your car also more than
25,000km.

my piece of advice - if you want to have better braking performance for
little money, go for uprated brake pads. i changed to bendix - and quite
happy with it. the steering vibrate also disappears.

p/s but you can go to proton first and complaint about this problem. i
heard proton will give you new discs!! good luck!

loco220 bro, if ur steering vibrate in hard braking mean ur front disc
got problem bro, its idle, bengkok liow or ur caliper almost jemm. rear
drum less headache actually, no burn disc or handbrake loosed. i used to
drive bfr wt drum brake, cz mine also base model, 2 times almost kiss
front car ass, then i upgrade to disc. our car weight about 1.1 or 1.2
tan, so don't follow to closed front car or run over 160kmj, scared might
not enought time to stop d car.
