ADJUSTMENTS (Continued)

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
