Im stuck in work, gotta look in a bit, when the cv joint was done he did do it real tight with a torque wrench and did put a pin in, but i will check to see if all is well.

i'd take it back to the person who did the cv joint, seems odd that it has started happening since it got fixed, bring it back, explain whats happening and ask them to look at it again

Good luck and hope all goes well and its a nice easy fix, and try not to drive too hard or not drive at all if you can avoid it.

Not being funny but were you braking when this juddering occured. The first time people have the abs cutting in a calibra usually scares the crap out of them and makes them think something is wrong.
