Judder through steering wheel.

[vere peters]

Hi Guy's any suggestions as to why I get judder through to the steering wheel as I hit 60 mph, two Lexus dealers have failed to diagnose the problem!!

I had this for ages a while back …….. checked for stones in the treads ?

My experience on this: Sticking calipers that have warped/damaged the discs/pads.

Check for excessive brake dust and super hot wheels/calipers.

I have just had the front disc's and pads replaced, the wheels balanced (front) (yesterday) but it still persists!

Could try swapping the front wheels to the back and backs to front , to rule out wheels buckled.

Yes I had come to that conclusion, Bob, I have just had a word with Lexus to have a look at that.  Thanks (everyone)

Vere hi,   Issue resolved ok ?

In my case, it looks to have been a failing driveshaft.  I got the same symptoms….although I got the juddering through the car itself too.  I only hope the new driveshafts - when they’ve been fitted - do indeed cure it🤔🙄

Blimey that’s an unexpected shock ! 

My perpetual juddering vanished all by itself after several months and I did NOTHING ……. I thought it might have simply been the very inexpensive cure of sodding stones in tyre treads just popping out and away 🤔

Sticking front caliper on my IS300 caused wheel wobble at around sixty. Freed the caliper and problem disappeared. Lift the front and see if either brake is binding.

I had the issue and resolved it by replacing the front brace bars which were hideously and embarrassingly corroded (there are some pics on my feed from the time). It's not an MOT failure but came to light as an advisory after the MOT. It's a very cheap easy change too. A number of people contacted me after I reported this reported their own bars also in a shocking state and replace them. Took the little shimmy away which was annoying after I had just put new OEM wheels and premium tyres on.
