I'm currently in the manchester area and was wondering if there is anyone i could take my zed to to get the front bushes looked at as there is horrific juddering when braking.... i've replaced discs and pads all round so brakes are ruled out so got to be bushes i guess? Any help greatly appreciated. :bow:

You could check yourself (which I am sure you may have done). It's often the tension rod bushes that fail at the front which are the cause of brake judder. You can see them without jacking the car up. Just turn the steering wheel to each lock and have a look to see if they are leaking/cracked.

Yep just replaced my Tension rod bushes ,and osf lower arm bush, also as Si said the tension rod bushes are easy to see take a peek ;)

could be that you have a sticky piston on one of your calipers, thats what it ws on mine

I did check and saw that 2 large black rubber bushes towards the front are knackered but i'll check the ones behind the wheels.... what am i looking for? are they easy to spot?

just been out and checked behind the wheels and the ones i think you mean are the same ones i was on about.... there the big black ones at the end of a linkage from the wheel station? They're crumbling away. Will have to try and find where to get some now lol another problem.

MJP will be able to supply them ;)
