Sandy Munro should look into this and give us a video report.I had an E90 325i stripper and yes, they'll crucify you over there. The half shaft ball races into the motor wear unevenly causing the shudder. The clevis mount is what helps alleviate motor vibration. I haven't read anything on mechanical failure. I have friends with a 2016 and 2017 that have just lived with the shudder with no mechanical failure.
Great idea!Sandy Munro should look into this and give us a video report.
I don't think Sandy is the man, but his outfit certainly is, not that the cause is any mystery at this point. The technology exists to kill this problem forever, but CV joints that cost $100 each, $360 extra per car are not an option on a $110,000 car, apparentlyGreat idea!
If anyone knows how to get in touch with him, do it.
Where can is it possible to buy these magical joints?I don't think Sandy is the man, but his outfit certainly is, not that the cause is any mystery at this point.

you buy the car be cause you NEED it to be high an many circumstances - yet they fix it disabling one of the very feature you buy it for. Nice.They absolutely know about the problem and what's causing it.
It's a design flaw. That they keep doing. If you complain enough. They lower your car. And you won't have the problem again.
imo the wear is from steering angle and high torque, not so much the height. When pulling out in traffic, be sure to be gentle on the throttle while turning. get the wheel straight, then gun it. You never hear of rear half shafts needing replacing.We don’t accelerate fast, we always drive in low, and had them replaced 3x already. And now I feel the vibrations again.
So driving very defensive helps but not forever - it is only a longer agony before they completely die again.
It's not a mystery. Land Rover knows how to make an SUV. Tesla took half shafts that weren't designed for the combination of angle and torque that the S uses in standard height and used them on the X at an even higher standard height (meaning an even worse angle for the components). What could go wrong?Mystery:
certainly the Range Rover has less torque than the X. Still, you can have the Range Rover SUV air jacked to max height, turn hard, go straight, whatever .... & the shudder NEVER OCCURS ... year after year. Yet tesla 'cures' the problem by preventing you from performing hard starts / hard accelerations at max height. (shaking head).
Great 'cure' . . . . killing a feature the ride was supposed to be fit to do.
