Re: Adjustable Control Arm issue

If they were brand new, could you talk to the manufacturer and maybe get it remedied through them?

Rausch Creek 8/12/2015-8-16/2015

It was a great trip! Great weather, great people, great trails! I'll post up pictures later once I've gone through the few I took.

I agree, but does it need to happen before the trip, or can it wait until after?

Re: Chasing Issues

1" tcase drop installed. No more binding. Road test and highway test resulted in no vibrations at acceleration, coasting or braking. I'm confident the jeep is drivable and wheelable. Adjustable arms are ready to be installed but I've run out of time before Rausch. Here is a picture of the rear ...

Re: Chasing Issues

It's definitely binding, I can't fit a piece of paper between the yokes on the dc.

It is a 1330 do joint, greasable.

I've got a 1" MML installed.

Re: Chasing Issues

You mean lowers? Or you already have adj lowers? I set my angle with the lowers but I'll let smarter people weigh in on the best way to do it. I still have adj uppers to put in. Maybe I'll do that after I weld the two pieces of the front lower back together Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I have u...

Re: Chasing Issues

Driveshafts are in, belly up skid plate is in, still have tolerance issues on the rear double cardon joint. The angle is still to sharp. The pinion is currently pointed too low, and I'm hoping installing the adjustable uppers will bring it back up enough to correct the pinion angle and lessen the an...

Chasing Issues

Front driveshaft has all new joints, the rear shaft should be delivered any day now, and the track bar has been graciously cut down by Modeler and friend! I'm hoping that's the last of the maintenance for the year, I'll find out during inspection later this month....

Re: Vibration

Taking the driveshafts out will remove the vibration if it was a vibration caused by the driveshaft. Anything else could still be felt. It was mentioned once before, but have you removed the axle shafts and checked them to make sure they are still straight? I'd start with the rear axle shafts since ...

Re: Vibration

Could it be an engine mount? Does the vibration correlate to the speed of vehicle or rpms of the engine?

Re: Chasing Issues

I ordered a set of non-greasable ujoints to rebuild the old driveshaft. Non-greasable for the "long life" "maintenance free" aspect. Because of my bellyup skid plate, I won't have easy access to the shaft bolts to remove it and grease the joints periodically. This way, it should ...

I'll try to get it pulled tonight. Depends on level of precipitation falling when I get home. I'll PM you for details on drop off.
