    here’s a video I was able to take from underneath to maybe visually see shudder. Been noticing a shudder from take off (not at higher speeds just from stop to take off). Have thoughts it may be carrier bearing or u joints as I’ve been told by lots of people. Had 1 person say torque converter but it doesn’t do it past take off. What’re you guys thoughts? TIA.

    Axle wrap from stock leaf springs. "vehicle characteristic"

    Put the camera pointed at the rear most u joint, you will shit your pants with how much the pinion angle changes from axle wrap.

    Rear leaf suspension. Home done tailgate re-inforcement.
    When mine started to shudder, it was the rear U joint that was frozen.

    Mine shuddered at take off. I dump money into rebalancing the driveshaft and replaced the carrier bearing and it still shuddered. I learned from this site that the transmission fluid can also cause this. I had the dealer flush the transmission fluid and the shudder went away.
