Hows your wheel bearings?

Does it always shudder or do you have to drive for a little bit before it'll start shuddering upon braking?

I know it's been a while but I thought I could help... I had the same problem and it did my head in also!!! I tried everything and then it just clicked. Over tightening your wheel nuts puts too much pressure on the rotors. I bought myself a torque wrench and I torque my wheel nuts to 125nm every time now and haven't had a problem with it since. Give it a go hopefully works for you too... Good luck

You haven't been on a cruise in an even longer while mate :) Should come out more, show off that awesome car!

I thought it was 135Nm, by the way? Or are FGs different?

Haha I would love to come cruising more but we just moved to sunny Queensland! Pity I didn't come out with you guys more while I was in Perth!

Mate I didn't know the torque setting for FG but trawled the forums and found the common setting was between 110 - 135nm so I just went somewhere in between.
