I have a violent steering wheel shake under braking. I remember some talk on here of some worn bushed that can cause this. Which ones were they and where can I get replacement rubber ones from?

 

Thanks

Your most likely candidate will be the tension rod bushings (identified as nadgered by the gloopy, sticky gunk dripping from them), but it's worth an inspection to isolate and identify any other latent defects while you're at it. Have a good look at the condition of the discs, ensure all your calipers are functioning correctly, all pistons and pads are moving freely, assess the condition of the upper and lower control arm bushings.

 

Energy suspension bushes come highly recommended for well reviewed and reasonably priced replacements and there are a few options of places to purchase from. Z1 CZP etc, some sellers on eBay, Luke and maybe Mike. If you find a sticking piston(s) this could cause uneven wear on the disc causing vibration, this would mean rebuild or replace/upgrade.

and why your down there just silly thing but check you wheel nuts were all torqued up tight before you take of.just a thought.

my tension rod bushes are ripped and leaking (soon to be replaced) and i get no shuddering at all under braking...just a pointer so it may be something else on yours.check the run out on the disks as they could be warped,this can cause really bad shaking of the wheel when braking.
