Assuming that the CV joints are not to blame, I would look at either the front or centre differentials.
Shuddering when turning usually indicates that one of these differentials is binding.
One thing that I would try is to insert the "DIFF LOCK" fuse, which is located in the engine bay fuse box. This fuse (which should normally NOT be installed) will lock the centre differential.
If the shuddering does not change, there is a good chance that the centre differential lock-up clutch is stuck on, causing the binding.
I would also check the oil in the front differential. There is a dipstick for that, located at the rear left-hand side of the engine bay (start at the brake fluid tank, and go down and to the right).
Jason.
