Howdy,

I have a shudder when I brake with the wheel off center.  I jack the car up,
grab one of the front wheels and give a tug, I can see the top of the strut
move. I actually can create both side to side and vertical movement from
wiggling the wheel.  From searching the archives, I see it could be a
scrunched strut bearing (or mount, as Bentley sometime seems to call it)..
but I'm wondering if it may be a as simple as the nut not being tight
enough.  Any thoughts or comments on this? Should I just reef on the nut
with a torque wrench?
Thanks,
Jim
