    Shaking in 2WD

    02 Wrangler X here. Getting some serious shaking when in gear. The shaking happens when I start moving and is much more violent in high torque/low RPM situations. At higher speeds it turns to vibration. In 1st and second gear. Sometimes this is accompanied by a sort of scraping sound which is...

    Brief Metal Knocking Noise After Fully Compressing the Clutch When Driving

    Hi, My 2002 Jeep Wrangler with 185000 miles has a brief knocking noise that starts loud and quiets for 1-2 seconds once the clutch disengages from the flywheel. I am not sure if it is related, but when I am driving and release the gas without pushing in the clutch, the jeep catches and harshly...

    Rear end problems

    So on a little road trip my tj rear end decided to do something it’s never done before. It’s almost a whining and its a terrible vibration. It has a stock suspension so I know it’s nothing with driveshaft and I just replaced the spider gears and all the rear end bearings (carrier,pinion,axle...

    Replacing driveshaft

    So I have had my tj for about a year now and I’m learning slowly to do my own work and maintenance. I love it. But a while ago my transfer case linkage broke and I could not fix it at the time. A little while later it somehow got shifted into 4L and I daily my Jeep so I was on pavement. It began...

    Possible drive train rattle

    Just bought a 2000 TJ, needs a little TLC. The jeep has a significant "rattle" almost a clanking at take off. Seems to be coming from the rear-center, maybe toward the left rear tire. Noise disappears at speed, is worse at times than others and very often will just disappear all together...

    What kind of lube should I use for my u-joints?

    Shortly after I had installed my Tom Wood front drive shaft, I came across an on-line forum thread that was started by a friend of mine. It dealt with his front CV drive shaft rebuild. Somewhere along the line, the discussion got around to u-joint grease and what was appropriate for the...

    What are the benefits of manual locking hubs?

    It is not uncommon to find questions on the various on-line forums asking about the benefits of a Warn hub conversion. It is certainly a valid question since the cost of the conversion is not trivial. Here are my thoughts on the various benefits (or lack there of) that you will see. Mileage...

    U-Joint Inspection

    How do you know when that u-joint is bad? Is it about to go....will it go the next time out on the trail? Who knows? No one really does, but you can play the percentages a bit and figure out when it may be time to take a look at the u-joints on your vehicle. I do know that doing u-joint...

    Caster angle off on one side?

    After my suspension install the steering wheel returns to center just fine, and aside from my vibration (yet to be identified) the Jeep drives perfect. I was measuring my caster angles today just to check, and the drivers side is 9 degrees, while the passenger side is 6 degrees. I measured them...

    U-Joint Replacement

    I had picked up a set of D-30 inner and outer axle shafts from a friend in California when we wheeled the Rubicon together. Having gone to 35" tires during my last lift, I thought it would be prudent to carry a set, "just in case". It seems that when an axle u-joint goes, it often times takes...

    Tom Wood Driveshaft Questions

    I'm going to be replacing my 2.5" OME lift with a 4" Currie short arm lift, complete with fully adjustable Currie control arms including double adjustable uppers. In addition to that I have a1.25" BL and 1" MML. I realize my stock drive shafts will not cut it any longer and I need to have...

    Drivetrain Vibrations

    I installed a 2.5" lift on my jeep last weekend and now I have driveline vibrations. Id rather not lower my transfer case, so will a 1" motor mount lift work? I've heard mixed opinions on it

    Gotta love Currie!

    First off, I will say that along with producing some of the best (if not THE BEST) Jeep suspension and drivetrain parts available, the guys at Currie are also some of the nicest guys out there. I was speaking with them today about which rear track bar I needed for my TJ and not only did they...

    Wrangler TJ Ball Joint Replacement

    If you own a Jeep Wrangler TJ and happen to run larger tires (most of us do) or off-road it at all, you're likely going to go through ball joints in short order. Depending on how hard you wheel (and how big your tires are), it's not uncommon to have to replace them every 40k miles (sometimes...
