Juddering in reverse can be down to excessive torque tube wear. The ball joint is adjustable to take up wear, but if that is at its fullest extent, it does not leave many options, replacement parts will all have worn to some degree or other and reclamation work, such as hard chroming, is specialist work. Finding someone is difficult...
I had a problem with juddering in reverse, had run out of adjustment on the ball joint, slipping the clutch was when it was at its worst, releasing this quickly meant that it would not judder, it is having the confidence that the car will not lurch uncontrollably and getting used to it.
I happened to replace my rear springs and the problem of repair has deferred - the new springs changed the orientation sufficiently to move the torque tube to a less worn part, the problem of the wear will still have to be addressed one day though!
