Check the suspension bushings.

I too recommend the suspension bushings. For good measure I would check the sway bar end links too as they made my sons 850 sound noisy when turning

in my 97 960, the end link bushing was completely gone. In my 96 850, it is going bad...both cars had this malady on the left side only [:@]

Hello mate,

I would find a garage that lets you see the underside of the vehicle while up on the hoist, and then do a visual inspection around the right side suspension components for abrasion/scratching. When exactly does it judder, does it judder even when turning mildly to the right or at sharp turns? I am wondering if it could be the tie-rod end/rack & pinion unit(which is not commonly heard on this forum) or the steering stop. Any fluid leak from the R & P unit?

Cheers,


JPN
