After all you've replaced , I would run car into any MOT test station / garage and get them to stick car on brake tester / rolling road . That should show any faults on braking system and also allows you to view steering / suspension for any kicking or wear under braking .

hi try tighting the clamps on the intermdiate shaft on your streeing column you will find it above your clutch pedal

some of the corsas have a balance weight that fits around the drive shaft to reduce judder you are getting have a look at this hope this helps as i can remember it will be on the drivers side shaft

i have changed also the front diskbrakes again to ebc grooved diskbrakes because i thought there is a warped diskbrake but this does not help at all, everything looks fine but the problem is still there and when i apply the brake it feels like i am pressing the pedal and these is some air in the braking system may there be something that is catching air inside the whole braking system or not?

like i said its the intermdiate shaft if u cannot tighten the bolts its the shaft its self common fault if you can take it off pull it up grease it and put it back on this usually works if not get another one

Shawn, did you solve this problem?, I have a similar one and have replaced many parts, could it be an air lock or possible suspension fault? I only get the juddering at 70MPH or above it's fine until then or I can't feel it.

Hi Shawn,I find myself in the sampe position as yourself.Have you changed the top suspension rubber and bearing...? as you have changed everything else.
