Hi, I have 2006 M35x with 81k miles lately I started noticing that when I make turns it feels like that my rear wheels are trembling, like not catching up to the road. And its geting harder and harder. I was thinking could be a cardan? IF anyone had similar problems please let me know

You should start by checking if the lugs are tight... Loose lugs can be quite dangerous.. if you know what i mean.

The cause could be a multitude of things but very likely drivetrain related. It you may have already exceeded the drivetrain warranty though. Contact a local dealership ASAP to get your car diagnosed. Do you notice any sort of noise or have any other problems while driving straight or during other conditions other than turning?

IT could be ball joints or tie rod ends.

Ball Joint Test:
"Jack up the front end. Use jack stands also to keep it safe.
Grasping the top and bottom of each wheel, pull on the bottom and push on the top to feel for play. Then pull on the top while pushing on the bottom. You are rocking from the side of the vehicle to the center of it to test for clearance between the ball and the socket. You really need to but your back into it. If you feel ANY play you have a bad ball joint or the it may be loose wheel bearings (but you may be able to 'feel' where the clearance is). Replace both sides even if only one side feels loose."

Tie Rod End Test:
While off the ground, pull the wheel side to side. There should not be any play.

Hope that helps.
