993 Front brakes

Any help with front brake problem on a 993.
Car purchased in March needing new discs, pads and sensors. These were replaced with original Porsche parts, after 6 weeks the new ones developed a shake on the steering under light pedal pressure. These were replaced under warranty with more new parts.

After a further three months the latest discs have developed the same problem with quite a violent shake when light braking from around 70mph. This means the car is now on its third set and the problem has returned.

I have been informed by a Porsche specialist that after measurement with a dial indicator that the right front disc is showing heavy distortion over an area covering half its radius. The left front shows distortion but not anywhere as bad as the right.

They have also found that the right hand suspension strut is very weak and needs replacing.

Does anyone know what may be causing the problem and did I recall correctly that Porsche have had problems with the front hubs on these cars.

Any help appreciated befor I invest in more discs etc.
