sounds more like front arm bushes (common issue) or some other suspension/chassis issue rather than brakes??

Hi, my hatch seems to "inherit" this problem around every 5-6000 miles. I do get judder through the steering wheel and it is only noticed when breaking a little harder than standard but gets quite worrying.

Changing the front brake discs always solves it for me as the front, drivers side seems to "warp." I have had the car into 2 specialists who could not find a problem, cleaned the hubs, had the calipers serviced and am none the wiser.

Having had a look around the Internet, especially on the American forums it seems a fairly common issue and no common reason or fix.

If you find out what it is let us know and good luck.
