I want to share what I have done to minimize my acceleration shudder and hopefully extend the lives of my half shafts. This is not a fix.
I have a late 2016 MX P100d. When I acquired it with 24k miles the inner rear tires were badly worn and would not pass inspection. And in normal ride height under vigorous acceleration the axles would shudder. On low with extremely acceleration they would shudder.
What I did was get a 4 wheel alignment (and new tires) alignment done at normal ride height. I then installed the cheapest adjustable front lowering links I could with about a 5mm longer than standard link. This results in the front of the car riding lower at all ride height settings by about 3/4”. It’s permanent cheetah stance! But it’s hardly noticeable. If you look close you can tell.
Set your suspension to always normal heigh. Now you have the best camber angle rear camber you can get to preserve your inner tires tread while saving wear and tear on your axels.
The headlights needs readjusted to Bering the beams up a bit.
The N2itive kit is a better fix but probably 50-75 times the cost and a more or less permanent solution. But my hack is not permanent. In less than 8 minutes I can easily reinstall the original links.
It’s stupid that there is not a solution yet and it speaks to the real issue high drive line angle.
It may change the cent of gravity by some amount but I argue more consequential would be my body weight and what my tire pressure is. I don’t drive it hard. Babies in rear facing seats don’t have forehead rests. Take it for what it is a cheap compromise to extend rear tread, and half shaft life.
