Default Shudder

I've been experiencing a bit of shuddering if I'm traveling about 80km/h and i take my foot of the accelerator, and when i put it back down, and only at that speed, and not all the time. Don't really know how to describe it but it seems to be the whole car. its not really that pronounced but still annoying.

I don't know if it related but also on the odd occasion i will pull up to a stop and it will stall, feels exactly as if in a manual you pull up without pushing the clutch in.

I think my axles are fine, although i do have some rattles in the suspension.

In regards to the throttle, sometimes i have no throttle when i start the car. Just absolutely nothing when i put my foot down. It will kick in after a few seconds tho.

Didn't you have the throttle body replaced?

I to have had the "Shuddering problem" Usually after letting off the accelarator and then pushing it back down again. I know suspension is in good shape. Wasnt there a recall on the Throttle Positioning Sensor on the 2000 V70s ?

I also have a shuddering under load (feels like the wheels are out of balance, very severely out of balance), but if I'm not accelerating I have no vibration whatsoever!
I'm going to get it up on the ramp tomorrow and check for play in the cv joints, if they're good I'll attack the throttle body and if that does'nt work, I'll sell it!!
I will keep you all informed..
