CENTER BEARING ADJUSTMENT
Drive away shudder is a vibration that occurs at
first acceleration from a stop. Shudder vibration usu-
ally peaks at the engines highest torque output.
Shudder is a symptom associated with vehicles using
a two-piece propeller shaft. To decrease shudder,
lower the center bearing in 1/8 inch increments. Use
shim stock or fabricated plates. Plate stock must be
used to maintain compression of the rubber insulator
around the bearing. Do not use washers. Replace the
original bolts with the appropriate increased length
bolts.
