It happened a second time recently and garage now saying underlying issue and this is the last warranty repair they'll do. I asked them what cause could be and they said poss worn hub. I stated steering wheel judder only happens when braking so would that indicate hub worn/warped. They didn't know for sure.
Car has done 4k since January.
Anyone advise if garage explanation rings true?

if they refuse to honour the warranty - trading standards
if YOU specified which make of disks,,, good luck
if they have fitted them correctly *see Clan's post about Cleaning both surfaces + wheel nut torque settings then 3 changes in X months = very poor quality disks ,
as others have said GEN volvo disks (and pads) , or ATE ones specifically for your C30
(iirc ATE are the oem manuf for volvo on C30/S40V50 disks )
yes volvo disks / pads arent the cheapest
i Do ponder the £ of 3 sets of "after market disks" V one set of Gen Volvo disks ,,,
