I feel like this needs to be talked about again. A lot of posts on this topic are a couple years or so old and there's not really direct "fix" per set and more or less band-aids to clear the problem, but the problem still exists.
I've been down this rabbit hole before, and the general consensus is to change the front hubs to manual hubs or just ride around without the front driveshaft when around town. If you're like me and went to manual hubs you'll find doing maintinence is a little more tedious as some parts are universal parts that can be got at a parts store, while.some components are made directly by Yukon and that means they have to be ordered.
I want to know what others have done that fixed the issue. Things like caster angle adjustments, tummy tucks and I've even seen a few mentions of upgrading the front driveshaft yoke bearings to high rpm rated bearings, although no posted results from that from what I recall.
I want to know what you all have done and any recommendations. I like my manual hubs and all, but I'm just curious if there's other fixes out there.
For reference I have a 4 inch lift, 5.13s, 42rle, NP231 and and a SYE kit in the rear.
Front driveshaft is stock with a LP Dana 30 and I have had the driveshaft balanced a couple times and adjusted my front control arms a bunch before I just ended up switching to Yukon hubs.
