| If shocks are fine, baginess will be down to bushes. The usual culprits are the front lower control arms. Do a search on here and you'll see lots of people very happy with how much more positive the c ... |

Regarding the controls ... |

Update on this. I spoke with the garage (Roberts Country Vehicles) and they shared a perspective on discs:
- delphi are not up to it for the FFRRs. Fine for smaller cars but always warp on the large ... |

Hence why I got it checked. Lower arms are fine.
I did wonder about a warranty claim, I might give ECP a call and see what they say. |

After my alpine jaunt back in January, the FF came back with a brake judder through the steering wheel. After the long alpine descents (twice), I thought it was likely to b ... |
