Default Shudder below 10 mph
I have a shudder that occurs during acceleration and deceleration. I notice it around 10 mph or lower. Do you think it could be related to the wheel bearing hub?
It feels like a light version of a rumble strip.

Sounds like it could be. Roll down your windows. Any noise assosciated with that? Is it worse when turning left or right? 4wd or 2?

I'll have to do some tests on it tomorrow. It is a 2wd.

Are there any other tests I can do to diagnose a bad wheel bearing? It looks like you have to replace the wheel hub assembly. Do you think it is DIY friendly?

Yes I have done mine, and it is very DIY friendly. just make sure you have a cheater bar to break the bolts free.

I noticed that some of the wheel hubs come with an abs sensor and some do not. How can I tell which one I need, or can I just reuse the old sensor?

The sensor is built into the hub unit, so you can't just replace it.

How to check? Is there an extra wire coming from your hub?
