Brake Shudder Issue: Causes & Fixes (Rotors, Pads, Bushes)
Thanks for your reply mate, yea wheels are on tight, the shudder comes and goes, it pretty much didnt shudder the whole trip (2.5 hours) but on the way back it was horrible, When I take off from the lights and turned I can here a creeking coming from the suspension, im guessing this could be the bushes.

Brake Shudder Issue: Causes & Fixes (Rotors, Pads, Bushes)
Hi guys bit of a necro as no ones posted in a while, Ive been getting a shudder which appears even when I dont brake, but when the shudder occurs and I DO brake it feel horrible (like the wheels are gona come off!) I have recently had the balancing and alignment done (as I thought it could have been balance) My rotors have groves in them but nothing major, since it happens even without braking im guessing it could be the bushes? Is it expensive to have it looked at? I wont be attempting it myself :D

Ba2 245/40/18S Down To 225/40/18S
Hi guys would there be to much problems going from 245s down to 225s? My mate has 225s on his XR8, I have brand new 245s on my front and the ones at the back are getting bald and a tad noisey (have been rotated from the front after an alignment) Im looking at some 225s (mainly cause they are a tad cheaper) but wondering if they should go on the front or the back? or steer clear of them all together? I have these wheels.....

Is it an expensive job getting it fixed, would probably try new oil first yea?

Whining Noise (Not My Wife)
I have a 2005 BA falcon 130,000 kms approx, every now and then theres a whining/whiring noise, at first I thought it was the tires on some particular tarmac, but could it be the diff? how loud is a diff whine? and how can you tell if its the diff? It doesnt do it all the time and I was in getting a wheel balance today, and the guy there told me that one of my rear tires is misshapen (im in he market for 2 new rear tires) so this made me think it could be the tire on certain grades of tarmac? any info would be sweet? cheers team.
