Juddering from rear when turning corners at low speed

Click on the link below for some idea of a recon unit. I'd check your old one first.

Test 1. reverse car with steering full lock. Should feel some resistance but should drive ok.

Test 2. jack up one rear wheel & with handbrake off turn it. Should feel tight like brake is half on but should still turn.

Test 3. chalk test. mark a line along the length of the VCU with white chalk or tippex. Go for a short test drive using lots of steering lock. Line between one side of VCU & other should now not line up now otherwise unit is seized.

Plenty of info on here if you search. Also there are rear axle mounts which can deteriorate causing knocking noises.
