   Juddering can be caused by a number of things. Disc brake run out being very common. This is when the disc is not secured to the hub flat, so as it spins it weaves in and out almost. When the caliper clamps onto this, the uneven surface will cause juddering.
   
   The discs might be worn to an extent where the above is happening.
   
   Loose caliper bolts or wheel bolts will also cause this. as well as other loose components.
   
   
   ABS juddering is one hell of a judder and you should only notice that when you SLAM on the brakes and the ABS is activated. This should not be happening under normal braking as the ABS should not be regulating the braking pressure.
