Default front end vibration while turning

I have 10,400 miles on my AWD R/T and am experiencing a vibration in the front end of the car when turning left or right. I have stock rims and tires and the vibration just started earlier today. I haven't taken it to the dealer yet, as I am away from home traveling. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

There is a TSB....Dealer replaced my transfer case. It will get worse, not better. Go ahead and take it in. Mine started at about 10,00 miles. New type transfer case has the vent hose protected.

Date: 10/08/2004
Component Name: 104000 power train:transfer case (4-wheel drive)

Summary: Transfer case vent hose improperly routed which could result in water entering the transfer case and cause driveline shudder (crow hopping) during parking lot maneuvers. rapid response transmittal #04-023. *tt

Just had mine fixed after two trips and convincing them it was not the power steering causing the chatter. They replaced some parts in the transfer case, not the whole thing. Finally seems OK now.
