Re: Shudder when leaving from a stop

Can also be universal joints. Pinion angle can also cause shuttering. Sometimes pulling a load or under heavy acceleration, the diff will bow up and cause the pinion angle to change so much that it can cause vibration. I have noticed it with my Titan pulling a trailer. If I had to enter the freeway in a hurry , I could feel the vibration but when I let of the gas, vibration stopped. Titans have weak springs and axle wrap is common. Once I installed the helper springs, most problems are solved.
