Finally Fixed That Front End Shudder
Just quickly , I have been trying to get rid of my front end ( so i thought ) shudder for a couple of months now . My VX used to shake really bad at 70 kay and above under brakes .I have replaced the front pads and rotors had wheels balanced changed the radius rod bushes . I finally went to a brake place and they put the car on the rollers to check it . They put the front wheels on the rollers and checked the front brakes at various speeds and they were ok . Then they done the same to the rear wheels and when they applied the brakes at 80 kays the car started to shake .So two rear rotors and a set of pads later all is sweet. The mechanic said its amazing how many people come in here with what they think is warpped front discs when the problem is with the rears.
So if any of you guys have a VT VX with the same problem get it checked out first before you start spending $$$$$$s it might be your rear discs

as i said before "look at the gear stick more movement under brakes"
Research has shown that men usually sleep on the right side of the bed.
Even in our sleep we happen to be right.

Cheers mate i also have a shudder at that speed.
Its an annoyance but i dont have the money to get it fixed.
Apart from being annoying it can't damage your car or create any more problem can it?
Sorry for the bad question =P...but im still learning haha

best to do the rears first as you bleed it from their.
Just a quick note , Don't forget to back off your handbrake if you are having trouble geting the rotors off. The rotor has two rubber plugs in them . turn the rotor around till the rubber plug is at the bottom then pull the plug out and insert a small screwdriver to back off the adjusting screw.
