So I am going to go check my front brakes right now. I have noticed that after I have done a lot of stop and go driving, i can feel/hear a shudder. This is a little different than having warped rotors which I have and need to be replaced. not sure how my bearings would go bad, I havent gone through any water or anything and they were replaced a few years ago when they got frozen to the spindle cause I tightened it up to tight. Well I guess if anyone has any thoughts on this that would be great.

So, you have a shudder on braking only when the brakes are hot? Mic the rotors. They might be getting a little thin.

If they are close to minimum, replace the pads and rotors (do NOT resurface the rotors -- replace them).

And it is easier to replace the wheel bearings when replacing rotors than to try to reuse the old ones.
