It's the borrowers, ill put money on it

Could be

Droplinks
Arb bushes
Top mounts
Driveshaft/s
Track rod ends

Majority can easily be checked at home dude

[Brettles1986]

How do I check ARB bushes and where are they?

is it when your braking could be warped disks ?

[saxoclarke]

how do i check all them because ive had new arb so guessing they changed the bushes new wishbone balljoint and new shock so im sure they would of said if there was wearing on anythiong under there

[chinkostu]

wheel nuts done up?

[JAGVTS]

Arb . Need to jack the car up both sides and place a longish bar above the arb and push down on a solid bit of the chassis .

While its up you may aswell check the droplinks . Place a bar between the wishbone and the arb and push down where the lower joint is on the droplink , there may be play in it .

Also could be the engine mount that side.

I park my car on a kerb I always feel it when I'm pulling off the kerb from cold ? Feels like a juddering.

[saxoclarke]

hmm might just take it back to the garage who did the suspension because its clearly something they done

Saxoclarke.... Check underneath your carpets, the two nuts that secure the rearmost part of the lower arm have a habit of 'not being tightened properly'

Rhysupply.... Grab a hold of the chunky centre peice of your steering rack and give it a wiggle up and down. If it clunks then thats your problem.
