Default Shudder when turning ...

I've been noticing for awhile that when I come to a stop and make a turn (I'm thinking usually a right hand turn) that I'm getting some shudder. Not sure if converter or diff. Straight line performance at any speed is good. Sig shows pretty much what I've got. Any thoughts? Please note I don't get a chance to check messages too often these days as I'm working 12 1/2 Hr night shifts, but any ideas appreciated. TIA.

I get this sometimes. I am pretty sure it is my limited slip diff clutches chattering a bit. What kind of fluid is in the rear end?

I'm running the Mobil 1 75W90 and (stock) Torsen differential.

Well I didn't get the shudder until I switched to synthetic lube in my rear. How about you?

I switched to the synthetic roughly 70-80K miles back or farther (don't have records in front of me). I'm currently at around 107K miles. I imagine over 99% of that is highway miles.
