Default 1/8 Buggy Wheel Vibrations (Bent Dogbone? RC8Be)

I have RC8Be, the wheels vibrate when I turn left or right. Like they chatter/flutter. Sometimes sorta violent but not for long. Is this normal?

I have the grub screw holding the CVA pin in side the hex hub loctited and VERY TIGHT. Could this be the problem because it has no play?

It happens when I turn left or right. My steering is not maxed out and there doesn't seem to be any contact. Also, my EPA is adjust perfect. No pressure on the arms when turning.

I don't know if it's a bent dogbone or not, these are brand new bones. I have changed them before thinking they were bent. I'm seriously starting to think and believe that it is not due to a bent dogbone. I thinik dogbones are harder to bend then I used to think.

I'm very interested in any insights that can be provided because my rc8be has the exact same tendency. When I'm racing, and I go plowing into a turn, I can feel the car shudder. Any ideas would be appreciated.
