[alfa] Second call for help: Juddering Spider
Can someone help? . . . Anyone? Please.
My post from last Friday:
Last weekend I had my Spider out. A neighbor sat in it and checked
it out. He pulled the emergency brake up a few inches too keep from
rolling while he stirred the 'box. I didn't really make a note of it.
My dash brake light doesn't work, so when I later took it for a 50-mile
jaunt, I failed to notice that the brake was partially applied. It felt
no different when I drove it. I smacked myself on the forehead -- V8
style -- when I noticed the brake handle up . . . just as I got home.
Today, when I drove it, I noticed a disturbing juddering feeling
when I applied the brakes lightly at a low speed -- kinda like driving
over two or three sets of railroad tracks. Most troubling is that the
feeling remains a few seconds even after I take my foot off the pedal.
Did I bake my rotors? Cook my pads? Glaze my doughnuts? Yes, I am
feeling pretty dumb.
