Q: Shuddering and noise from the right front tire area
Several months ago, I purchased this used van and the owner mentioned that he had some problems that persisted for years. I've noticed that when I'm driving, there is a shudder and noise that seems to be coming from the front right tire. To be more specific, it comes from the area behind the front right tire. The noise and the shuddering completely disappear when I start braking. The rotor was replaced by the previous owner. What might be causing this?
