2002 chevy tahoe lt 4wd, current mileage is 85k. For the last 25k miles this vehicle has experienced a noisy shuddering sound with a slight vibration felt through the steering wheel when turning left or right. Ball joints, tie rods and alignment check out ok. Problem can be temporarily (for several days) resolved by dealer when front axle assembly is lubed during general service. Had front axle seals replaced at 80k, noisy vibration was temporarily suppressed, returned a week later.
