My car has recently failed 2 MOT's. The first was because the lower ball joint had excessive play (bad Juddering if breaking over 60mph) had this fixed and still the judder was there. Went back in for another MOT and this time both Steering Rack Gaitors were split and N/S track rod end worn to excess. Ordered the part from Nissan (Socket Kit-Tie?) which is being done on Tuesday. Do you think this is the source of my judder or do you think the discs are warped? (Visual look at discs show now abnormal wear).

Does it have standard Nissan front tie bar bushes ? If so check they're not leaking/leaked the silicon jelly that they're filled with.

This is a common problem on Z's.

 

Hope this helps

Whilst there fitting the above parts get them to check the tie bar bushes. This is the cause of this problem in about 70% of cases.

If you need new tie bar bushes don't get them from Nissan.

They only supply the complete bar at £130 each side!

 

Get the longer lasting poly bushes from Z Centre at about £45 for the pair.
