Whilst coming home from work gave it a bit to much gas on a corner the wheels span and into a slide it went, Would have been fine but the traction control isn't working so the power was not cut to the rear wheels Didn't realise it was spinning until too late. Tried to correct the the slide but for some unkown reason my brain decided this was a good time to stick my foot right down and away I went into a full 360 degree spin with oncoming traffic. came to a halt across the road with my workmates behind me pulled over inspected the car and thought oh well was lucky nothing done didn't hit anything close shave. Unfortunately as I pulled of again and went on my merry way the whole car now judders about ! anyone throw me some ideas. differential ? , suspension ?

Did you maybe run over something as you went off the road (or did you go off the road?)

What exactly do you mean by juddering? Does it do this in all gears, under acceleration, braking, engine braking, etc?

If you really jammed on the brakes it's just possible you have a caliper sticking. But that's a wild guess.

You need to supply the collective with more clues (IMHO) to get an answer.

Could be a buckled rim? Did you hit any kerbs?

Like Mitch says, when does it do it?
