I have roadtested atleast 10 cars for this concern and thought they were all dreaming. One day one of them played up and it was I <3 Bananas badd. Had to pull over and another time I just slammed the brakes hard and it stopped. When it happens,see if the car slows down quicker than normal whilst coasting along,without touching brakes. This was the first thing I noticed then 2 mins later the shudder started.

I've had it happen a couple of times now, it seems to only happen when traveling at a speed greater than 90-100k's per hr and usually on the freeway. Interesting theory about the brakes, ill have to look into that! What I was thinking is that it could be a stuffed shock or strut tower. For those that haven't experienced this it seems to just start off as a small vibration through the steering wheel then gradually getting to a severe shudder(at first I thought I had a flat and then it felt like one of my front wheels was gunna fall off lol), but once the brakes are applied for a few seconds it seems to disappear. It is a very intermittent problem...
