Not strictly confined to Audi but I know the  readers of this list have so 
much more experience than the usual repair techs! 
    There have been many articles written about  juddering under braking, not 
the least by Stop Tech who essentially say warped  discs are not the problem. 
I put new discs, pads, and tyres on my Subaru within  the last month and 
bedded them in in the usual manner. Brake as hard you like  from 55mph and all is 
smooth. At running speeds in the 60-80mph range there is a  slight vibration 
through the steering normally associated with wheel balancing.  Brake from the 
60-80mph range and there is a sever judder until the speed drops  below 55 or 
so.
    Local technician, at very well respected servicing  outfit who also 
installed the tyres, drove the car and said to replace the  discs.
    Question?    Anyone experienced  another cause for the judder such as tie 
rod ends, steering knuckle, or simply  alignment?
