What would cause front-end shuddering while braking on freeway?
Worn Tie-rods or control-arms?
When replacing control-arms, do most people just replace them all, or just the specific arm with the busted boot?
Lastly, any recommendations on where to get good CV-Bearings, control-arms kits, and tie-rods? (other than the dealer)
I want to get everything buttoned-up before winter hits.
Thanks!

Could be warped front rotors or brake dust buildup on the front rotors. How old are your rotors? Do you have stock or aftermarket?

My front rotors developed 0.020" of warp a year after being replaced which caused serious...
vibration when slowing down from highway speeds. It was noticeable around town too, but not nealy as bad. The rotors were replaced again under warranty by OOOO.
