I hope you guys can give me some input on this because I'm running out of ideas. I'm having pretty hars vibrations/shaking in the steering wheel only when braking.
It's not hub run-out or debris between rotor and hub.
Rotors are new, had same problem with old brakes.
Guide pins are clean and lubed.
Inspection of the lca bushings didn't show anything, they aren't dry or visibly damaged.
Ball joints and tie rod ends checked out OK.
No play in wheel bearings.
The thing with this judder is that it isn't always as present, some days it's just the faintest shimmy just when I apply the brakes, some days it's really bad.
If I brake hard the brakes sometimes shakes but sometimes doesn't.
I think it has to be a bushing or joint but how do I find out what/where?
I was also wondering if worn guide pin bushings could make this happen? If the caliper can shift a bit like when opening a drawer that jams half way...
