NZBen Member 50 Member For: 10y 11m 27d Gender: Male Location: Auckland Posted 11/04/15 07:02 AM Share Posted 11/04/15 07:02 AM I was at Hampton Downs the other week and found that at high speed - over 170kph, the car starts to shudder severely, the shudder continues till speed has dropped to below 130. It possibly gets slightly more severe if brake are applied but not certain. I know my diff bush is stuffed. The car is an 09 G6Et. Has anyone come across this before? Not sure if it's driveshaft, brakes, wheels or something else.Thx Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90360-high-speed-shudder/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember te suspension is hanging on a hoist and could hide a driveshaft problem.Could lower the back control arms down onto jack stands to simulate sitting on the ground and see how you go spinning it up Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90360-high-speed-shudder/#findComment-1539321 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increase under braking could be another issue. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90360-high-speed-shudder/#findComment-1539385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
