That's exactly how it felt when my rears went out, replacing them fixed the problem

Make sure to replace both sides when you do this. Otherwise you'll prematurely wear the new one and the old one will usually fail in short order.

Thank you so much! Exactly what I was hoping to hear, and will report back once I’ve fixed the parts!!

Okay so I replaced my front LCAs with the EPS ones. Huge difference, much tighter and less rattling - BUT still has the juddering feel (though it now feels more like ABS/PSM engaging).

Have to recommend these LCAs with the poly bushings, though - took a vid of them vs the original worn ones:

My theory is that my mechanic was right too, and the wiring+speed sensors are also shot, and the LCA replacements helped, but didn’t cure the issue… will wait a bit before I try replacing these, though as the car has spent too much time in the workshop recently!

Dang, sorry to hear that phoenix. Hope you get it sorted out.

No worries! Thanks for your advice, changing those LCAs was so worth the additional feel on its own!!

Updates on this: changing the speed sensors and harnesses on all 4 wheels did not help much. I seem to be able to take the car to higher cornering limits before the juddering starts, but it’s still there. Strangely only on understeer, oversteer/rear wheels are ok…

Back to the drawing board… anyone has any suggestions?
