My car is an estate 58 reg. With bad brake judder. The judder comes through the steering wheel so front brakes I assume? Fist fix was new discs and pads came back. Then after a lot of money spent on new discs, pads, calipers and calipers mounts on both sides. And has come back. Starts at anything over seventy and now to the point of low speed also. The wife mainly drives the car so no hard driving or breaking. Any suggestions? Many thanks. Andy

If this only happens when braking, the problem is in the brakes. If you are getting it without applying the brakes, then you should be looking at the tires.

Sorry, yes it is only under braking. Wheels have been balanced and alignment has been done. I am at a lose as what to do next with all that being changed. Is the car just a lemon?

You are missing something. I suggest a local mechanic to find the problem.

They have the benefit of examining the car. I do not. Maybe a different mechanic is in order. It is not that difficult of a problem to find. It should be pretty obvious.
