Rear end shudder while turning left at slow speed?
Hey guys. 2010 XKR here.
This problem is more prevent when the car has been sitting over night or not driven a couple hrs.
When first starting out, when I make a stop at a stop sign or intersection, when I start moving while making a left turn, I feel sort of a shudder from the rear end it seems like? Maybe even a hesitation if you may.
The car doesn't do it at all when accelerating from a stop and making a right hand turn.
Any idea of what this could be?
Thanks in advance!

I have something like that, but it seems to be more from the steering to me than the rear end anywhere. Haven't paid attention to whether it is only when turning one way or the other but it is just once in a while and if it happens at all, it is only when I am just slowly going out from the garage or starting to move after the car was sitting a while. After that I never feel it.

Not entirely sure how a power steering flush (at the front) could cure a shudder from the rear BUT I had a similar symptom on my 2010 XKR Dynamic only turning left and the lower speed but sharper the turn the more noticeable it was at certain slow speeds. The cure was to replace the differential. My 2010 model has the slightly newer active e-differential and the electronic clutch was misbehaving under certain circumstances. While the initial recommendation was differential clutch refurbishment ultimately the whole thing was replaced. Since then only glorious silence from the rear and smoothness on take-off (apart from the glorious V8 soundtrack and the Saturn-V effect).

Hi! Also a 2010 XKR owner. Interestingly, I previously owned a 2011 XK, so I have comparitive experience. Long story short: I notice that vibration/shudder EVERY TIME I make a hard left from a stop (taking a left across traffic, etc). I have also noticed it on right turns lately. I NEVER had that issue on my last car. SO.... either it's a 2010 issue that got fixed, or it's an XKR issue. My opinion is that it's something in that electronic differential.

One more post, to be more specific:
- this is definitely a "vibration - shudder" feeling.
- there is no noise associated with it.
- for me, it definitely feels like it's from the rear end.
- I'll test again, but I don't think the vibration is transmitted to the steering wheel.
- It only occurs while turning, and most pronounced from a stop. (Which are typically the sharpest turns one makes).
Hope that helps.

The next time I am in for a service I will bring it up to my adviser. The thing is it doesn't occur every time, just every once and a while. I have been trying to figure out how to recreate at will so that it is easier to show.
