Seems like a lot of the common stuff has already been done.

Today it's in the shop still trying to suss out this front end shudder. Most all of the front suspension has been redone in the last 10K, new rotors when I bought it. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's the caliper pins sticking, since the problem comes and goes. Friday & Saturday it was doing it pretty bad. Of course Monday and Tuesday it didn't do it at all. He's going to check wheel balance, make sure the new rotors don't need to be machined, and check the caliper pins today.

Also, while I was at the dealership I picked up 4 of the window clips so I can do that some Sunday this fall when there's no interesting games on.

Does the shudder happen while driving? or on braking only? Sometimes I have a slight shimmy which comes and goes on the highway, I feel like its calipers as well since my entire front end is new, wheels are balanced true.
