Studder in steering wheel

This may be just obsessive compulsive, but I feel as though when I take off from a stop whether it be slow or fast I feel a quick little studder in the steering wheel. It is one of those things that I found and cant remember if it used to do it. Does anyone else notice this? Is it worth bringing to the dealer dropping it off then they beat the hell out of it and tell me its o'k?

My truck did it when new and it felt like clutch shudder. It went away though and I don't know if a flash had something to do with it or the auto tranny took time to break in or something. Take it in and find out exactly what it is and let us know.

Do you have a 4x4 with auto hubs? If so are your hubs locked? You should be able to reach behind the front tire and rotate the u-joint by hand if it is unlocked. Or you can put the hubs in the locked position and then put it in the unlocked position to get them unlocked (both wheels).
