Do you know what the relationship would be to less or no shudder when the suspension is set to low or very low vs the shudder on standard height. I guess this is where I have trouble thinking it's a half shaft. I don't see how ride height would relate.You have a bad half shaft. Bearings are going bad. Go to SC.
Ride height affects the angle of the CV joints. Higher ride height increases the angle and increases the pressure/wear on the CV joints and half shafts.Do you know what the relationship would be to less or no shudder when the suspension is set to low or very low vs the shudder on standard height.

When the half shafts on my X were replaced the SC told me to NEVER accelerate hard (Insane Mode) with the height above "Low". Read the first posts on this thread which I initiated.
Maybe the X could automatically go into "Chill" mode when suspension is on Normal or higher? At least until they redesign the half-shafts to solve the root cause.So why isn't the car smart enough to not allow hard acceleration if the height isn't at the low setting instead of service people telling drivers not to do it? Confused?
service told us our shudder isn't so bad ... that we could wait 'till they have a (REAL) fix ... as some still go back to shudder after replacement. But man, this has been going on for quite a while now. As it is, the X has been in the shop for several things, & they say the headliner (falling down) replacement they'd orderd months ago - was used by another!! ... and now they can't even say when the next one will come in as their database shows '0' nationwide. So, when all the nickel & dime stuff is done, they suggest we return the loaner (S w/ ludicrous) and just drive our X 'as is'.Ride height affects the angle of the CV joints.

wow
.
Service says ours doesn't meet their "bad enough" criteria regardless of the shudder. can i tell the service department you said they have to replace it anyway? We might need your number to covince them you said so....You have a bad half shaft. Bearings are going bad. Go to SC.
Monitor your inner rear tires for safety; on low mine wears out the inner inch or so in 10-12k miles (20" conti). SC says it's expected.At Standard height, I can feel the shudder even in Chill!. It's not pronounced but it's there. At the SC's suggestion I keep the car in low which largely eliminates the issue.
Increase cold tire pressure to 45 psi and see if that helps. I noticed less tire wear, improved Wh/mi.Monitor your inner rear tires for safety; on low mine wears out the inner inch or so in 10-12k miles (20" conti). SC says it's expected.
The studder is as bad as ever! I tried out a hard acceleration with low suspension setting and things seem as bad or maybe worst than before.
Is that fine going above suggested psi of 42, or is it too small of a delta to matter?Increase cold tire pressure to 45 psi and see if that helps. I noticed less tire wear, improved Wh/mi.
