Hi Matt, I was gonna send you a PM but thought I'd get it out in here.
2012 FG GT MK2 6/4 Genuine FPV Brembo's shuddering at low, almost parking speed, enough to make you say a swear word. Very occasionally, not all the time, hot or cold, very random. Any ideas? Brembo pads leaving deposits?? I am at a loss for an explanation. ,

Thanks Matt, definately not the bushes, she's only done 4500 klms
![]() I can see the front wear marks looks as if only 80% of the pad is being used. Possible bed in issue? I guess the only way to rectify is to skim and re-pad if this was the case?

Some customers would only feel it on the left side to start with but it only got worse and customers taking there cars back to Ford didn't believe it either at first. The nolathane bushes fixed the issue. Read this i hope the link works http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...ght=FG+SHUDDER

When I had shudder it was very violent when low speed cornering also pulling into a drive ways but it didn't always do it like stated above almost like abs coming in. Turned out to be the upper inner control arm bushes.

Are all the contact surfaces clean?

Wasn't this a recurring issue, and Ford ended up releasing/fitting an updated upper control arm bush? Would be worth looking through the FG problems thread: http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11224789
