    Lowering Transfer Case

    I'm looking for temporary solutions to reducing vibrations of the 4" lift of my 1997 TJ. I believe it is a 4" rough country lift kit with probably 1" body lift and 3" suspension lift. Would I be able to drop the transfer case more than an inch? I was imagining that the vibrations would reduce...

    Possible driveshaft or pinion angle issues

    Got a 2006 recently and while replacing some stock stuff, decided I'd go with 2" lift and 33 mud tires. The problem I'm running into is that at 45mph I get my wheel shaking left to right like they aren't balanced. It ends at 50. Wheels are at 28 psi cold per factory specs. Front axle angle is...

    Looks like I need a new front driveshaft

    Tore down the double cardan joint on my front driveshaft to rebuild it. Unfortunately it looks like I need a new driveshaft… The shaft is badly worn. You can easily feel all of the visible marks. The centering yoke has a small amount of play in the ball and socket joint. The retaining ring...

    Possible signs of front drive shaft needing repair or replacement?

    While out on the trails yesterday, I noticed a chirping squeak that seemed to only happen when in 4wd, under load at slow speeds and it seemed to increase/ decrease frequency with changes in speed (faster with more gas/ speed and slower with less). The noise appeared to go away whenever in 2wd...

    Has anyone ever seen this nonsense?

    Due to some drive line vibrations on my wrangler, I am forced to look into the source of my issues. Now, whether it's bad luck, or just coincidence; I have been under this jeep at least a dozen times inspecting or fixing things and never saw this. As you can imagine, I got pretty angry at the...

    Still can't remove rear driveshaft differential yoke

    Hi, longtime reader and first time poster here. I'm replacing the pinion seal of the Dana 35 rear differential on my 2003 Wrangler X, and I've already removed the 4 bolts on the driveshaft, but it won't budge from there. I've read several threads about it already, and I've tried spraying it...

    Questions about lifting and getting SYE and driveshaft

    I'm looking at getting the Zone 4.25" Combo lift for more clearance for my 33s, and the kit comes with a motor mount lift to avoid a transfer case drop. My question is, will I have problems/vibrations with the stock driveshaft while I save for an SYE and new driveshaft? Or should get everything...

    Squealing / metallic scraping noise when accelerating from 0-20 mph

    Fairly loud squealing/metallic scratching sounds ONLY when accelerating from 1mph to about 20mph after that it goes away. Only sounds in the back or maybe directly underneath me. If it’s raining it will never sound. Drive shaft and u joints are original could it be that??? I’m starting notice...

    SYE Confusion: Super Short and Mega Short?

    I am looking to add a SYE and CV drive shaft to my 2000 TJ 4.0L manual (all stock with 2.5" lift). I'm a bit confused with the "short shaft" and "mega short shaft" options. What should I look for in a standard SYE and standard CV dive shaft?

    Front driveshaft u-joint part number?

    I understand that my 05 Rubicon uses a 1330 u-joint on the front driveshaft, is that correct? If so, what is the spicer part number for a replacement u-joint? Preferably an upgraded one if possible. 5-760X, or will that not fit?
