I get a very bad shutter in the front end of my car while braking normal. If I have to brake hard it is not so apparent. I thought my discs were warped so I purchased new discs and pads at my local dealer the other day. Not to worry, I purchase wholesale as I own my company. Anyway, I was looking on the IPD website and noticed the strut rod poly bushing. I gave them a call and they were very helpful over the phone even though I was not ordering at the time. The gentleman told me that this may be the problem. I thanked him for the help and went outside to pull off the tire to look at my brakes. They look brand new. Pads are fine and disc does not seem to have any wear. I have only had the car for about six weeks so I checked the strut rod bushing. It is all cracked and looks worn but I cannot move it by hand. I would imaging that the 4000 pounds of my braking could though. Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it using the strut rod bushing? I did call IPD back and order the bushing in poly. I am also replacing the swaybar end ling bushings in poly to help stiffen things up out front.
