: I have a problem with a vibration (NOT GOOD VIBRATIONS) when I am braking as the car is between 40 and 45 MPH. If I brake harder or if my speed is above or below these speeds, I don't get this. I had this problem before my last brake job and alignment (15-20k ago) and it went away for a short time. I'm thinking that it may be due to the rotors? If so, should I just resurface again and have this problem return or should I go with slotted? Any other ideas? Thanks.
: PS Great info on this site!!

Sounds like you may need to replace your front upper support bushings. Experts here recommend the 750iL bushings as replacements-I just replaced mine and treated my baby to new brake pads all around-the shuddering is gone, the nice smooth braking returned, not to mention improved handling. Hope this helps!
