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.
