Juddering

Just bought a 306 D turbo `95. i recently changed 5 spoke spiral wheels over to some XSI wheels on jack + axel stands under chassis rail, ever since i have done this, i have been getting major juddering from what i believe to be middle/rear of car under quite firm braking, the wheels are not fouling anywhere and i have prooved my point putting the old wheels back on, still juddery!. Now the shockers seemed clunky and were found faulty once removed so i put some gas shocks on, the ride is alot nicer now but the judders are still there, ive tested obvious signs like exhaust rattle, had the drums off (shoes ok + operate fine) checked bushes etc, no play/wear anywhere. i have just raised the rear of car up and clicked handbrake up few notches and span rear wheels, there seemed tight spots and light spots spinning round the wheel, on both sides. Maybe some drum distortion? but i am not convinced this is the problem...how could this just suddenly happen?

Does the car have rear disk brakes? I had bad juddering on my 406 and it was down to warped front brake disks. It happened very suddenly with no warning. If you have rear disk brakes that could be the cause, or it could still be the front ones because the judder is not necessarily emanating from where it seems to.

Its got drums on rear, today i had the drums off and glazed the drum + shoe surface, it made a vast differance and has made the noise + feel less violent, my front brakes are screwed but i have discs + pads on order for tomorrow, so i have added drums and rear bearings to that order, hope this solves my problem, i will let you know

Right, later on that day the juddering got worse, started knocking when i hit pot holes etc...so i knew it wasnt the brakes, managed to get it up on our flat bed ramp at work whilst someone bounced on the rear, its one of the rubber supports for the rear axle that has gone, i have bought all four mounts to replace, any ideas the best way to go about changing them? a side at a time or lower the whole axle and do them all and raise it all in place, i have the equipment to do it just not the time, so the quickest way to do it would be nice/ any techniques etc. Thanks
