Skipping / Shuddering on U-Turn?

Anyone notice a skipping / shuddering feeling from the front when making a sharp turn / u-turn? I’ve had same since new, thought it was normal due to the wide 20 inch wheels, but it's annoying and I'm wondering...

Might have something to do with your front axles. Sounds like the same symptoms FWD cars get when a CV joint is bad.

Wow; not good! It's when rolling and the steering is at its extreme or near extreme articulation. Best way to describe it is that it’s a 'hopping' feeling where the car doesn't feel ‘planted’ on the ground, as it isn’t smoothly rolling; minimal, but there since new. Thanks for your reply.
