A little bit of shudder when turning

[garrett.fell]

While my X is down for repairs, I was thinking about some if it's other behaviors which may need to be addressed. One is a slight shudder I've noticed when making a turn. I want to say it happens on both left and right turns and certainly isn't anything new. I noticed it years ago - but since it was my wife's daily driver and I wasn't driving it often it wasn't at the top of my mind.

Is this a differential lubrication problem or something more nefarious? I recall something similar with my Honda CRV. The fluid in the rear diff (called dual pump fluid) wears out after about 60k miles. Once it was replaced the diff was silky smooth again.

Is this something similar? I bought the car with 73k on it and it has 109k on it now. I've never serviced anything that has to do with the drive train since I've owned it - with the exception of a new stub-axle/CV assembly on the front drivers side.
