If by bent he means buckled then you would know about it-the car would feel like it was shaking/vibrating, even more so at certain speeds.

mine seems too shake when the car slows down? say slowin down from bout 60-70 ? would it be because of buckeld alloys?

Shaking when braking :lol: is usually caused by warped disk's, although if its only around 70-60mph then i'm not sure :?

hmm might be that! fairly sure disks were fairly new, but i'll have too check it out! cheers..

hmm might be that! fairly sure disks were fairly new, but i'll have too check it out! cheers..just cos the disks were new dont mean they aint warped, you can warp them the first time you use the brakes if you aint careful

Should always bed your brakes in, take it easy for the first few hundred miles or so on new brakes

Juddering could also be caused by uneven tyre wear (my GT4 did it a bit when the duff ball joint shagged a tyre) or more likely different pressures

I have a habit of warping discs
