Does your car shudder when you make tight turns, like a U- turn?

I know the torsen is causing it, but it seems to be getting worse on mine. Maybe the mounts are getting softer. Anyone?

Of course I thought of that. Same with or without it.

My A4 did it too. No worries.

Default Are you sure it's the TORSEN? I think it's EDL... it's applying brakes to one side since the

speed difference (in percent) between the inner and outer wheels are rather high, so it thinks the outside wheel is slipping, and applies the brakes to it.

You are correct, Torsen never shudders, always even and smooth

Default My Tahoe, Talon, VR4, and Waggoner all did it. It's the 4 wd

On the old Blazer, it sounded like it was coming apart. The S4 only really does it on tight turns, like pulling into the garage. It's quite noticeable.
