Shudder turning left

I have read the other posts on here on shuddering upon acceleration, however, mine only does it when making a left hand turn. I know I still need some front end work done (left ball joints, possibly tie rods and sway bar bushings) would these front end issues be causing the shudder? It seems to be more coming from the rear though..... btw, rearend fluid was changed out less than a year ago with Royal Purple.

Any ideas would be helpful...thanx

Can you go up another block and then turn right, double back around, and come in from the other side so you only have to make right turns?

Sorry 'bout that....I'm obviously tired

Ken,

Does your Ex have 4wd and is it engaged when it's doing this? If you have 4wd, it might not be releasing on the left front, you may have a u-joint that's going bad, or possible wheel bearing problems. It might be worth jacking up that wheel and inspecting everything.

LOL!!

That's what I love about this forum... insightful, well thought answers

Thanx Whjco, I'll have my wheel bearings checked out... I know it's not 4X4 problem.

BTW, has anyone ever had their rear bearings replaced or are these typically never a problem?
