Bearing Shimming

Drive-away shudder is the predominant symptom associated with driveline angles condition on vehicles with two-piece driveshafts. Drive-away shudder can usually be corrected by shimming down the driveshaft center bearing bracket.

If the drive-away shudder cannot be corrected by shimming down the driveshaft center bearing bracket, check the driveline angles.
