Its kind of hard to explain. I get this shuddering when Im accererating during a turn. It's totally intermittent. I now noticed that lets say im about to pull out of a gas station. Im waiting for traffic to go by. Turn the wheel Hard right of left. then when its open, I accellerate and thats when the shuttering occurs..... if im taking a 90 degree turn going about 30 mph it occurs too........ this could only mean a few things.. 1. drivetrain - trans, rear diff, transfer case, Axles........2. suspension...... bushings, hub, coilovers. What do you guys think? anyone ever get this problem????

The Axles check out fine..

going to put in stock shocks sometime this week to see if thats the prob.

 

I know it's really simple and you may have already checked, but make sure your lug nuts are tight.

 

Are you running Diaqueen? For several people with this problem it turned out to be the oil in the rear differential. If the oil does not contain enough friction modifier, the clutches will grab and shudder. It is kinda funny, with all the talk about how the rear clutches are assembled wrong and the LSD doesn't work, this keeps happening.

 

Ill double chek that when I do the shocks......could be! im open to any posibility

 

Yea I am running Diaqueen... there is a small leak comming out of the rear axle seal ..... I just checked the level to make sure..... should I be using Diaqueen? or a diff brand??

 

The front passenger side wheel seems to be kinda loose. I just got an alignment done a few months ago. wonder if the shuddering is just comming from that wheel only... cuz when I feel the shuddering.. i can feel it on front pass side and rear pass side only (left and right turns)... i think maybe its comming from the front pass side but the vibration just transfers to the rear as well.


might be the rear drivers side wheel that shudders too.

Im trying to edit out all posibilities before I tear out the trans, transfer case, abnd rear diff and herve them checked.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

I mentioned Diaqueen because it always seems to work - no clutch problems. So, maybe, my suggestion is wrong. Still, this sure sounds like the rear diff to me.

If you have a leak perhaps you should pull the fill plug and just check that that small leak isn't bigger than you think.

As for the loose lug nuts, you had better check them now. A couple of miles will tear up a wheel.

 

not sure its the lugs... cuz Ive had that wheel off about 3 times since that prob started...... but ill give it a whirl...

Ill drain and re-add more fluid while im doing the front shocks / springs. I replaced the front pass hub a while back but got an autozone brand (never again) wonder if its going bad again......

 

I Have the LSD gear oil bought straight from the dealership.. thats the one your talking about right???

 

Sometimes the dealership uses OEM oils and sometimes some pet brand. If you don't know, it may or may not be Diaqueen.
