shakey wheel problem =/

I am gonna call bullshit on this.



The owner of AKG will gladly tell you that the E30 suffers from a poor front suspension design, and that the urethane bushing ALWAYS fixes the dreaded "brake shudder".

Like I said, 99%. I would guess that you're the 1%. And I'm sure the owner of AKG likes to sell urethane bushings.

Alright, I guess there's more troubleshooting ahead for me.

My car shuddered like a dog shitting a peach pit while braking.

My rotors were nasty ass drilled VERY worn pile of shit ebay junk.

We are talking grooves, warps, just fucking shit.

All I did was swap control arm bushings, as in AKG urethane non-offset.

My shudder went away 100%, as in GONE, with no other changes.

Think of the physics of braking forces acting on a control arm, and how much stress is placed on the CABs

Try it, you will be shocked.

thanks for the advice that will be the first thing i replace after i fix my exhaust and test my friends wheels on my car

I have a shudder and my car has urethane bushings. I'm actually getting a little worried about it, but I'm pretty sure that its something to do with the brakes. I've got e30 m3 control arms, weaves, and new bearings. I wouldn't rule out the bushings, because I haven't lubed them (supposed to lube every 2k) but my question is how can I know.

Sorry to thread jack

its cool, no thread jacking just good advice givin througout r3vlimited.com share the wealth.

alrite im bumping this because last nite my steering got way worse. as i wus driving it started to feel shakier at about 50 mph then it started to shake extremely bad if i tried to turn right at all. now when im at a dead stop i have a lot of play in my wheel and if i utrn it, it clicks then turns. and u can feel it if u just wiggle it to the right and left a little bit while at a stop it just keeps clicking. i think it has something to do with my steering rack but i dont want to take it all apart if it isnt that, so does anybody have any suggestions first before i go ripping my car apart? anything would be helpful thanks.
