I recently regeared to 5.13 in my 2004 Rubicon. Unfortunately, I now have vibes that start around 60 mph. I removed the front driveshaft and took it for a test drive and it was smooth as glass.
Today I went to a driveline shop to get the front driveshaft balanced. Upon initial inspection, I was told that the driveshaft had been rebuilt at one time but had not been rebalanced. He also mentioned that there was a bit of play in the front output of the transfer case.
When I got home I checked it myself and there is the slightest amount of play. I imagine this could contribute to the vibes along with an unbalanced DS.
Is there supposed to be any play? If not, is this a matter of just tightening this large nut?
