Shuddering at very low speed turns

Some background, inner tie rod boot has been torn for at least a couple months now though the tear has been minor this whole time until today where it completely separated from the clamp. I just did my LBJs and my alignment is also noticeably off, possibly because my last alignment was done on worn LBJs.

Anyways, for the past couple months, I've noticed a shuddering when I've turned my car while parking. It's rapid and repetitive and it only is at a very specific angle, when I turn it farther it goes away. It's also only at very low speeds like 5mph as I back into and pull out of parking spots. It comes and goes but today it was the worst it's ever been, yet it only happens on tight but not fully locked turns. Could it be something as simple as tire rub even though I have a 2in lift and only run 265/70r17?

I'm thinking it's probably something worse than that as it's been more noticeable with my car being out of alignment after I swapped the LBJs. Does this sound like a tie rod problem? There wasn't much slop or play when I was pushing on them after reinstalling the LBS, the play was more the whole car on the jack moving rather than just at the wheel so it seems like rebooting the tie rod should be fine.

Could it maybe be a front diff problem? I just changed the trans fluid and it was nasty so thinking the previous owner may not have changed the T-Case and diff fluids but am wondering if that could cause this issue. Any insight would be appreciated, most of my research showed u-joint issues at higher speeds when I looked up shudders, but my Ujoints are fine.

When you changed the transmission fluid. Did you change the strainer filter as well? Shuddering is bad.

I have a MT so don't think there is one. I've been thinking and I did just recently notice a rear axle leak that's pretty bad as the brake shoe is completely caked. Thinking the rear diff could be low on fluid, think it could be binding there? Going to fix that up this weekend and see where we get from there.

You are correct just gear grease in the MT ( no filter.) If the rear diff is low it will do damage quickly. So the sooner that's fixed the better. I had to replace a 3rd member that the PO didn't fix the rear axle housing rust leak.

Ahaahah nope, actually working on fixing that right now. Got it figured out, it was actually tire rubbing, didn't think 265/70r17 would rub but it does on the front fender on the sidewall, but only at 3/4 turn, not full lock and only on the left side. Kind of stupid solution but glad it's nothing major
