As the title implicates. Happens only during tight turns, either direction.

TIA!

uhm.. mine used to do that too. It happens in tight-ish left hand turns. The front wheel shudders back and forth. It actually did it one time when standing still, I turned the wheel to the left, and instead of it turning slowly it shuddered. Left front wheel btw

 

This might sound like a weird question but shudders how? Does it feel like it's back and forth (i.e. the car is moving for and aft)? In the steering wheel or in the seat? Etc.

Could be a million things, but hard to tell without more info.

Oh yeah, auto or manual? Mileage? Etc.

 

Bunch of stuff to look into, I'd start with power steering pump and belt tension, alignment, CV joints, any of them being out can lead to those symptoms.

 

nvmnd...

 

also..how bad is the shutter.


if it's only in tight turns and it's not super super bad then your powersteering pump might be going. I just had mine done for a similar reason.

Make a grinding type noise?

 

Mine does the same, pretty much every time I pull into my parking spot. It only seems to happen when I'm going _really_ slow, like 3mph. It shudders kind of like taking a piece of rubber and dragging it across glass or something where it's trying to grab, but it skips. In normal driving, or if I pull into the spot quicker, I don't feel it. I also had the same stutter when turning the wheel once and not moving at all. I talked to the dealer and they told me it's normal... something about the diff during tight turns. It sounds like metal chattering.

I have almost 8k miles.

 

that doesn't sound normal to me. Mine didn't do that until my PS pump went.

 

same thing happens to my Miata now. I am still figuring out what is going on

 

I just had worn belts replaced and it cleared it up on me, but like I said,, several factors can lead to these symptoms, best to get it diagnosed in person by a professional


you can get some crazy ideas from people on the internets

 

power steering belt?

 

no, replacing the air conditioning belt made the steering work better.

or was it the timing belt?


Like I said......

 

my car has no AC, and the Timing belt is new.

 

I hope to god you are joking....'cause I was

 

mine does the same...always in u turns that are tight. and hard left tight turns. right not as often.....

Unit 91...this was actually one of the main things i wanted to bring the car in about for the warranty stuff i was telling you about. Im thinking its the center diff...i started trying to replicate it and it really feels more like the center dif IMO...but i could be wrong.
