Default Juddering when pulling off

Hi.

I'm experiencing a juddering when pulling off from a stop. Only happens when turning right. Feels like the vibration is coming from the rear.

Anyone else experienced something similar? Any ideas what it could be?

Thank you

LOL

If I went any slower I'd get arrested for kerb crawling.

I'm wondering if the diff oil hasn't been changed. Anyone know when the diff oil should be changed?

Based on the car car nut channel (a mechanic by trade and lexus expert), he recommends changing the differential oil every 50000km (35000 miles i think)

It's my experience that this is a common condition on Lexus vehicles when the steering wheel is turned full lock. Nothing to do with the LSD. It happened on my ISF and happens on my LC. If your juddering is happening at full lock, it's normal and nothing to worry about.

Thanks. I've owned an IS-F. This is different. It's definitely not just on full lock.
