The car jolts? If it does it under braking - when only using the brakes, it will most prob be to do with warped discs and/or drums. Most likely the disks. If that is the case, you need new disks and pads. Go to a garage and ask them to do a brake check for you, most garages dont charge for it, they will tell you if they are warped - especially when they put it on the roller brake test machine. They might do a further inspection with a DTI guage which measures the disk run out. Normally its easy to tell when they are warped though. Even from just spinning the wheel around. If its when you use the engine to brake, it could be that an engine mount is gone - you will hear a knocking noise most probs if it is that, easy way to test it, open the bonnet, put it in 1st gear, handbrake on, then stand outside the car enough so you can see the engine, and have your foot on the clutch, slowly let off the clutch until it bites, then just go a little bit more, if the whole engine moves or rocks a fair bit without the car starting to move, it will be the mount. Hope that helps a bit. |

If it's a jolt on and off throttle application, see above. If it's a continuous judder, it'll be fugged discs or top mounts. |
