I need help: when I do a Uturn / park or sharp 90 turn, the front vibrates, feels like the wheels a skidding, something is blocking.

The car pulls really well in straight line,...only affects sharp sharp turns (no matter what speed), moderate turns are nice and smooth.

Car went to shop, mechanic didn't see anything.

No signal/fault reported on the computer frown

Is my front diff going away?

sounds more of a driveshaft cv joint ?

jack front of the car up ...and spin wheel on full lock to see if can replicate it?

good news .. a new driveshaft is only £150 ...downside is you need a tool to press out / pull into hub

How worn are your tyres? I get a similar effect on my Legacy when the tyres are low on wear.
