    Have you had yours looked at or attempted to fix it?
    no, im lazy and just put up with it, i thought the first one was something to do with the big wheels, and since i had brought it new and fitted the wheels straight away i could not really go the daeler, tried a wheel alignment and it didnt work, the guy that brought it off me reckon it had a bent wheel which caused it but i had them checked for balance and they were ok,

    the second one i drive now does it only when braking, and since its near 130km old now it will be on us to fix it,

    Google throws up a lot on these. Stuff like the clutches not being up to task and:

    The problem occurs due to a difference in angles of the two halves of the tailshaft where they join at the centre bearing. I have fixed all of these by shimming the centre bearing further downward by 1mm or so using two washers in between the floor pan and the bearing retainer.
    Yikes. Good luck.
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    Get the brake rotors checked to see if they are true - I suspect they may be slightly out thus the shudder when braking. Easy fix if so.

    It needs to go to a proper steering and suspension specialist. Bet we could fix it.
    At 110000 k it shouldn't be shot, but this modern stuff is getting unreliable again, I suspect more and more parts are chinese now. I'd make 'em fix it, if they haven't found it yet, it's unlikely to be anything you've done.
