Thread: A different shudder

Update: new lower control arms subdued but didn't eliminate the shudder; rear discs replaced no difference (didn't really expect that to help); wheels were swapped off and it seemed fine on borrowed rims and tyres the but when original wheels/tyres went back on it also seemed fine - What tha? Went ahead with new Cooper LTZs but shudder is still there - double what tha?! That only leaves bearings and steering, both of which are fine according to four different mechanics...

I'd really rather be spending money on mods than maintenance!!

Thanks - do ppl sometimes refer to the control arm bushes as hydro bushes? But I've not seen them done before 43000 kms!
Ours were knackered and were obviously amplifying the shudder but they weren't the root of the problem.

I'd guess yes, hydro short for hydrolastic, as per explanation in this thread (post#7):

That does sound like low kms for the control arm bushes.

Might I suggest an 'on car' wheel balance. This was the only way of reliably balancing my Nissan wheels and Cooper tyres.
