Steering System Noise Definitions: Shudder

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Ford Freestyle, and 2006 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Shudder is a low frequency (10-20 Hz) oscillation of the entire steering system (tires, wheels, steering gear and linkage, etc.) when the vehicle is steered during static park or at low speeds. Shudder is very dependent on road surface.
