shudder while i turn

[GoldieStroker944]

on my 01 psd i have noticed that when i turn there is a light shudder it doesent matter the speed of what you turn but when you accelerate it seems to get a little worse until you get straight again and then no problems. this dosnt seem like a big problem cause it hasnt seemed to get worse or better and its not like it shakes you out of the cab its more annoying that anything but i just thought i would see what you guys thought cause i would kinda like to know what it is i cant seem to figure it out
thanks

mine kind of does this too, i think its the shocks or the springs cause its not very consistent in my case, how bout yours?

[GoldieStroker944]

ya i would have to agree its not very consistant i can really notice it after i get off the interstate but it still doesent get really bad but i have noticed that my shockes in the back are leaking but i dident think that they were connected to my shudder problem i mean i know that they are bad but i guess i just wasnt thinking that but i have been known to be wrong before lol

[tonypagnano]

yeah im not sure if it actually is the shocks lol, but id love to believe so.

I have had a shudder in my '08 from day one, but it only happens with a big trailer hooked up. I suspect mine is in the rear end, anybody else have this when pulling a heavy trailer?

Yours, I would bet is the slip yoke on the drive shaft needs grease. Not sure if an 08 has a zerk but my 95 and 01 don't, so I must pull the shaft down to grease it. When I had them down I drilled and installed zerks so I don't need to pull the shaft now. Ford has a special grease for this that you may want to get for your brand new truck but I just use my grease gun.

This could well be the trouble for all 3 trucks in this thread but I am not as sure on the 2 that do it when turning. It would be worth checking for sure.

Mine does this when turning and is worst when I am turning up a steep incline and continues to do so until I straighten up again? Any help with what you found would be great.

Thanks,

yea well my problem was fixed by tradeing the pickup lol sorry guys but i would try that slip yoke thing that he was talking about really it seems right to me but i just sold my pickup tonight so i guess i dont have to worrie about it any more

I get the same thing in my 00 Excursion. Going straight is fine but but fron a stop on turns it shakes like the rear brakes are not disingauging. Had the brakes check and all is OK. Could it be the limited slip in the Diff?

Another string I read they just added some SlipLock to diferential and it fixed it...... Synthetic Transmission Fluids by Amsoil and Modern

I am planning on doing this, just have not gotten to it yet.
