so yesterday I was driving and my car starts shaking. I was like WTF Mate. then I take the wheels off and lug nuts fall out cause the stuts are broke off. then I notice there is a problem with the rotor or the lack there of. it is all missing sections of it and its cracked like a beeoch. so I spends 60 to get new studs rotors pads and crap get back and not two min after driving it I blow the master cylinder. I havent started work just yet but I am fixing to so wish me luck

Why is the car to blame for lack of maintainence? It shudders like that and yeah, you're going to pop some studs.

Mine does that at 65mph. I had to replace the C/V joints on it before, and that fixed the original shuddering, but now that it's doing it again I'm at a loss as to what's causing it (unless it's ye old C/V's again). Sorry to thread jack, but I could use some maintanence tips from old Lincoln boy, too!  Tim

well I replaced the master cylinder today and it is still not stoping. I dont know what the hell is up... I am going for brake lines next then if that dont fix it I guess its the brake booster... needless to say this is sucking me out of money fast

Hey Zum, were you at Ultimate Electronics Saturday afternoon around 2:30? I think I saw you pulling out of your parking spot.

Actually I was!!  I was shopping for a new AMP, and just so happened that the UE guy was rude as [censored], so I went else where!

Who is telling you that it is the master cylinder or the brake booster???? That is some bunk info. You should look at either tie rod ends, or worst case is the rack and pinion.
1. Does it drive straight? if not, it's tie rods. Either way, reach under there and see if you can twist the tie rod by hand. If it drives straightf yes then... 2. Does it make a clicking noise when you turn slowly to either side? if it does, it's a CV shaft. If now... 3. See how much the wheels turn when you slightly turn the steering wheel. If there is a space between the left and right movement before the wheels actually turn, it's the rack & pinion.
My bet is tie rods. Have you hit a curb or large pothole lately?
