    drive line vibration '05 TJ

    I'm thinking it's the rear pinion bearings (inner/outer)... I'd like to get 4.88 gears to throw in while I'm replacing bearings. How much play should I have in the rear output shaft while in neutral?

    drive line vibration '05 TJ

    The u joint failed last Sunday & I put the new Tom Woods CV shaft in along with a TeraFlex Super Short SYE. So I've got a new output bearing in the t case & brand new driveshaft from Tom Woods. It doesn't shake every time I dive, some times it's as if nothing is wrong... other times, it's a...

    drive line vibration '05 TJ

    I recently had a rear u joint failure where my drive shaft slid off the yoke and got all banged up on the road. Afterwards it had some nasty drive line vibration (starting around 30 mph) so I installed the SYE kit that I bought thinking that would remedy the situation... well I'd kinda did. It...

    D60 for TJ, where do I start?

    I'm worried there isn't going to be though on the divers side to mount my spring cup

    D60 for TJ, where do I start?

    Yeah, I saw a lot of specs but nothing that about what it takes to stuff one under a TJ

    D60 for TJ, where do I start?

    I researched & researched & found answers clear a mud... The 1st choice is the '78-'79 F-350 which is non existent :-( so the runner up is the '85-'91.5 F-350 but this has a diff further to the drivers side... Is this going to be too much of an issue for spring pad mounting? Since I can't afford...

    Don't grab long arm uppers, just short arm adjustable, right? Or are there longer adjustable short arms for rigs with the axle pushed back?

    D60 for TJ, where do I start?

    I'm looking for a D60 for the front end of my TJ but where do I start? I know it's gotta be a Ford if I'm picking from junk yards but what years are best? How much work is there to make the steering jive? I'll be doing a long arm to the front & have a friend who is a professional welder who...

    What did you do to your Jeep today?

    I sat & stared longingly at the pile of Jeep parts waiting for nice weather to install them (TeraFlex shifter linkage, TeraFlex SS SYE, Tom Woods rear driveshaft, 6" oval LED tail lights & Dave's Customs Unlimited boat sides)

    SYE & driveshaft arrived today... Should I wait until I have adjustable UCAs to install them?

    TJ bad vibrations

    I'm looking into adjustable UCAs but I don't want to put "too much" money into the axles/suspension on account of I'm wanting to do an axle swap & 4-link the rear & long arm the front. When I crack the cover open to do the pinion bearings & find that I need gears, I won't be so upset about...

    My SYE should be here Friday. I have pinion adjustment bolts to put on the axle end of the LCA but I'm gathering that won't be enough

    TJ bad vibrations

    My pinion angle is bad, I wish SkyJacker would have put adjustable uppers in the lift but I guess that's what it's called a "budget lift" :-(

    TJ bad vibrations

    Turn it back & forth or move it up & down? I tried rotating it like the driveshaft & it only wiggled slightly. I didn't try moving it up & down... I can't say that I noticed any movement like that when I was rotating it

    I changed a u joint at the pumpkin but there is still a shake somewhere (no where near as bad... The other u joint was still in good condition so I greased it up & reinstalled

    TJ bad vibrations

    No front drive shaft. There is no play in the rear shaft... I'll yank it & inspect... I have several u joints on hand. How bad is a pinion bearing?

    I'll have the Mrs. help me with that in the am. I did that while it was running at my buddy's & he didn't see anything loose (he's a Jeeper too)
