Hey guys
Today while out I noticed the AU when reaching the speed of 100k's, there was really bad shuddering in the steering. I've come across some shuddering before, but this time it seems quite bad. Is it the steering? brakes? something else? cheers. |

First thing I would do is check the wheel nuts, sounds stupid I know but have seen it before, then have a look to see if any of the weights have been dislodged if all that looks good as Mont said off to the shop for a rebalance and alignment or at least a check over.

yeah I've had this issue a couple of times in the past, both with my old ED and the AU......front wheel alignment fixed it every time.....also checking they're balanced properly can't hurt!
