Getting a little judder on rough surfaces through the steering, not horrendous but a bit annoying.

Don’t think it’s brakes, seem quite new and smooth.

Don’t think it’s balancing as would be all the time.

Been suggested it’s the lower control arm, anyone had this ?

They aren’t dear, £130 for a pair but just trying to see what people think it maybe before I fire the parts cannon, and is there anymore fire way to tell, pry bar with it on a jack ?

Looks easy enough to do, any pointers ?

Fitted them and shimmy has gone. Took me about three hours not working with any urgency, taking and making phone calls, stopped for rain, not too bad a job.

Think being hydraulic steering after electric it feels more lively anyway and transmits any minor vibrations.
