Right turn woes
 
Three times now in the last week or so, I've experienced a slight "shudder" while making a mildly aggresive right hand turn. Once while taking an offramp, twice while turning into a store parking lot at a "fun" pace (I'm sure you know of what I speak). The first time I thought it was the DSC kicking in, but I don't think so anymore. I've taken plenty of turns without the shuddering that were more taxing. It almost feels like I ran over some rumble strips for a second, then all is fine again. There are no DSC lights either. It's definitely coming from the rear. I fear it's a LSD issue. Any suggestions?

is your car stock?

I have experienced the same issue but normally turning left at higher than the posted speed. Sounds just like you described, a rumble strip. I can't duplicate it if I try but it will occur every now and then but ONLY at the same turn, it has never occured any where else.
I just figure there is something about that particular piece of roadway. I'm just thankful it doesn't play a frickin tune like the honda highway. . .

if there is gravel at those turns you will get a DSC kick....

I'm not sure if I'm having the same problem on my 06 Shinka, but i get a similar rumble when i have my wheel turned all the way to the right. Usually heard when parallel parking or reverse parking etc.

Would be very helpful to know what might be causing it

humm i seem to be having this problem on left turns?? I just changed to 245's and this problem arose shortly there after. For me though I know it's a dsc or trac problem as i'll get the little swervy car flashing at me. It's hit or miss though, sometimes i'll hang a curve like a champ then i'll take that same curve at half the speed and wham the rumble strips filling or really fast breaking. The other day I had the battery box out and found a box under it that was covered in fluid. Looks to be brake fluid and also it has 4 transparent line coming from the abs box right below the master cyl so it's a no brainer from there. I'm assuming this is my problem so if you guys can get a look at the box and see if it's coverd in fluid we might be able to get to the bottom of this problem.

No fluid present, I run 245's as well. Like I said before it only happens now and then and always on the same 25mph left turn taken at about twice that speed.

I have it happen when I take a fast SHARP turn, I think it has something to do with the Differental in the back... but I don't know alot about mechanics

I've got a similar problem. Seems to happen when turning hard left or right while accelerating moderately to hard. I'm thinking it could be that the tires are starting to wear because they are getting louder.
