Bad shuddering left turns at higher speeds.

As stated when turning left at high speeds it shutters really bad and is hard to turn.. Feels like going over a whole lot of pot holes. It doesn't do it turning right?? Any ideas as to what it could be?

Lower ball joint and or tie rod end is shagged.

Get it in the air and find out what's loose. then replace it.

i would look at both sides. normally when one starts to get bad the other side isnt very far behind it.

I'b be willing to bet your inner/outer tie rod ends are shot. Agree with ^^ you should jack it up, find the culprit, replace and repeat as necessary.

Be ready do spend the $ on a 4wheel allignment too, FWIW. Here in my area usually around $80-110

Hope that helps!

most likely if it was a strut you would notice it more then just when turning one way, but its hard to really tell without looking at it up close.

did you have a chance to throw it up on the hoist yet??
