https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0078UA000/?tag=wranglerorg-20Been putting it off, but finally hung the front drive shaft at lunch today and went for a spin. Guess what? No vibes up to 80 mph, cause I didn't want to go any faster than that. So now I start over. Front DS might have 10k on it. I did the front axle ujoints when I installed the BBK a few years ago. Unit bearings are original but don't show any sign of slop or noise. I'll reinspect the axle ujoints, drive shaft joints, unit bearings, and then I guess the t-case.
Right axle ujoint has some slop to it, so I'll start there before diving head first into the hub kit rabbit hole.
^^ Also, I don't think it's a deep rabbit hole. I think we are talking a shallow grave at best.Bite the bullet and be vibe free .. you have suffered long enough.

Fucking enablers! Lol!
The hub kit helps you with half of that at least!Thinking to myself, "What a great time to upgrade the front axle shafts to some chromos, right?
Why? You can get this all over with at once and end up saving money!Right axle ujoint has some slop to it, so I'll start there before diving head first into the hub kit rabbit hole.
Where's this money saving part you speak of?Why? You can get this all over with at once and end up saving money!
Once you rebuild that joint and find out it was fine and you still need hubs! I’m saving you time and money brah!Where's this money saving part you speak of?
Well, I already have a new Spicer axle joint waiting in the wings, so I'll spend the extra labor to change it out and then re-evaluate. There is extra complexity to the hub kit if I want to keep my BBK. Oh, and new wheels to take care of the backspacing issue, and spacers for the rear.
