I have a bit of a shudder / vibration in the drivetrain somewhere. Only feel it at low speed from take off and I've only noticed it when turning and pointing up a hill. Turning either way the same thing happens.

Only have about 32k on the D4 so will take it to dealer but wondered if anyone has any thoughts as to what it might be?

Thanks,
David

I'm sure I have the same thing but the previous owner reported it during warranty and LR couldn't find anything and sent it for a wheel alignment, I can feel it on the vehicle but have no idea what it could be. LR inspected the brakes originally and that is where I believe it still is but no extra information has been found. Good luck

I'll stick my neck out and say it sounds diff related.

Dropped it off at the dealer this morning.

Couldn't find a suitable hill / turn nearby to demonstrate the issue.

Suggestions of checking for damage and software updates.... Don't want to be pessimistic but I'm not particularly hopeful of a resolution.

We'll see.

Just got it back and they weren't sure but thought that corrosion on a wheel sensor may have been causing the TR to 'kick in'. Cleaned it up

Sounds plausible.

Hopefully that's it. Will see when I hit the hill on my every day drive next week...
