Rear axle shudder

I assume this is normal with anti spin rear ends but I wanted to ask to be sure.<br><br>When I make sharp turns on dry payment the rear axle shudders as I go around the corner. I assume this is because the anti spin has both wheels locks and there would be binding as you make abrupt turns.<br><br>Is this condition normal or is something that should be taken in for service on?????

Re:Rear axle shudder

mine kinda hops a bit sometimes. More load less hop. Sorta like a bind more than a hop tho...

Re:Rear axle shudder

I think hop could be an equally descriptive term. I will wait to see what other say. <br><br>Again, it only happens on tight turns and I forgot to mention that it is with brisk acceleration but not enough to spin tires.

Re:Rear axle shudder

Sounds like normal limited slip differential behavior to me.

Sounds normal to me too. I removed the AS part in my sig block a few months ago. I feel it sometimes too, but not every time.
