Question Front end shudder

I have a 2009 HHR SS Automatic with 12,000 miles. I have been noticing a slight front end shudder when I take off especially if I am turning. This condition is getting worse. If I take off fairly easy as I usually do it is barley noticable. If I take off just a little harder than normal the car will shudder up through the steering wheel up to about 30 miles an hour and then smooth out. The harder I take off the more pronounced the shudder seems. This is through first and second gear. I have tried all transmission variables and the result is the same. anybody had this experience.

Thanks
Wayne

Nope. You're under warranty so just take it in.

Just take it to the dealer. It could be a CV joint, tranny or a number of things.

Sounds like an axle or cv joint to me too.

I agree with the above.

You're indicating the same symptoms that my GD experienced in her Impala. Just replaced drivers side CV joint. Took care of the problem.

But sometimes I am wrong, also.
