We can always have fun watching you try to wheel in rear wheel drive! Lol! Consider it a challenge!
Maybe I'll finally get to use my winch. Hopefully my motor didn't die on it again lol. Worst case I buy a new 1310 ujoint and throw my old shaft back in.We can always have fun watching you try to wheel in rear wheel drive! Lol! Consider it a challenge!
Diff. I could have had Tom woods send me the axle with the correct end for the rubicons ujoint but I figured since my rear is going to be a 1310 I should keep it consistent between the two.Was it the diff yoke or the tc input yoke you had to change?
No crush sleeve on the dana 44. Torque down to 200-220lbs and call it a day.Did you have to deal with a crush sleeve and rotational torque and all that?
I'm officially vib free. View attachment 83707
I would agree. I think the photo Jerry always posts rings true.Having the air up stations there was a nice plus. I think I'm good staying clear from mud for a while. I got some strange looks from folks on the trip home. drove to work this morning in the rain, and most of the big stuff has washed off, lol!
My DS is sitting at 7.6 and couldn't be happier. I feel like prior to adjusting my old RE arms it must have been lower since I feel like I have to work harder on the freeway now. (higher caster then before?) I really wish I was smart enough to measure the angle prior to messing with it.Nice. When I put mine back together I dropped my pinion angle down 1 degree to add a bit of caster. It has a slight harmonic vibe now, I knew it wood. Anything less than 8* it starts. Going to try having my DS rebalanced see if that helps before raising the pinion back up. Glade the new shaft worked out. In that pic it really shows the damage.
I miss typed. DS is 9.2 Pinion is 7.6. If i'm correct and the degree of separation is 13.6 then I should be sitting right around 6. Which to me makes me think that I can't be right with my findings on the degree separation or my front axle has had some custom work done.What is your pinion angle? Did you do the math to see what your caster actually is at?
I'll probably lower it and see how it goes. I was running 5.5 on the old driveshaft during testing and the vib was pretty consistent with the 7.5 measurement. I need to crawl under and figure out what the random clunking I was feeling also. I'm guessing a control arm in the rear isn't torque but I just checked them proir to the trip so I guess some loctite is needed if thats the issue.6* should be about right for your setup me thinks. The calculation for my LP30 is spot on with the alignment specs. It was tough handing over $80 to get a printout, but I did it. Guessing it costs even more for you city folk. Everything over there costs more as I found out over the weekend.
