OK guys... sometimes, I need some advice.

My trep is experience a little bit of front-end shudder. I have had a full all-wheel alignment recently, as well as new brakes 10k miles ago (and turned rotors 5k miles ago). I did a wheel rotation and remounted a tire from what I thought was a bad spare. The shudder was gone a while, now it is back (not by popular demand).

I can think it is either (1) a bad rim, in which case I'm screwed, but I will get the tires balanced just to be sure.... (2) the rotors, but if they need another turn, what does that say about them with only 10k miles?... (3) possibly the tie rods? If so, I need to bring it in under warranty soon (only 5k miles left on the 100k warranty).

What do you guys think? What could be causing this?

Thanks!

Might be the tie-rods, but if you recently had an alignment, they would have seen that your tie-rods were bad.


Try balancing the tires...They can get off-whack pretty easily. Let us know how you do!

usually you only see the words "whack" and "off" in a different syntax.

i don't know anything about suspension, but i just thought that needed to be said. i would recommend the services of buschman, he said that he replaced his tierods last year. he probably knows what they feel like when they are on the way out.

Might be a broken belt in the tires

As I am watching these insane jet pilots crashing into the world trade center...

What kind of shudder? Does it feel like a bad strut? The last shudder I had, which took a while to find, were the transmission mounts. I would feel a little wobble, when going over bumpy roads and such. That is what I had. Never had any other front end problems yet.........

LOL. I just had my tie rod ends replaced. When you drive theres a little shudder and the car kind of pulls to one side...?
