I just purchased a '94 940. When I tested it there was a fairly violent wheel shudder on braking. Otherwise, no significant problem otherwise with the steering and suspension. The steering rack is smooth and easy. The car seems to track straight and true slow and fast conditions.

I assumed the shudder on braking was related to the brakes, rotors or calipers, which I feel competent to correct. However, my experienced friend suggests its much more likely to be suspension related and the braking is just the event that causes it to manifest itself.

When I brake, doesn't matter whether its hard braking, light braking and everything in between, the car shudders and vibrates rather violently. If I hadn't thought it was brakes, I might have been more concerned. If its front end, which I have so far little experience with, I might have bought myself a headache I'm not equipped to handle. But I'd sure like to try.
