Rear camber is usually the rose joints in the lower arm. To check, you need to unload the rear spring - easy with air springs, not so easy with steel coils.


Shudder during stopping is probably the tension arm bushings.


Do you know how old the water pump, thermostat and main coolant hoses are? Usually a good idea to replace these along with the expansion tank as a preventive measure.



Get 'er up in the air and check for loose stuff. And have fun.

A bmw code scanner is top of the list of parts to pick up, thanks for the recommendation on the Foxwell.

I have the airbags but no controls for them. I have to lift the truck then apply some jack pressure to the wheel and wiggle it in and out right?

I dont know about the water pump, hoses or expansion chamber. But so far all that seems fine.

Thanks so much for the input, I love this forum just as much as VWVortex.
