a slight vibration can often be adjusted out with the pinion angle.

X2 mine vibed pretty good till I adjusted my pinion angle. Glad to see its back together again man. Hope to see it at the January club ride!

Got the pinion angle straight. Test drive was good. Ready to go wheelin.

Damn! Brake caliper is leaking.

Where is it leaking? If its on the bolt just try and tighten it down cause it needs to be tight on the copper to seal it off

I wish. It looks like its the piston.

Got some kinda bump when I let out the clutch. I thought it was slop in the Locker but it still does it with the new axle. Also still have a vibration. Not sure were its coming from. Any ideas?

Try checking your transmission and motor mounts. And is your shaft in balance?

It should be,its a Tom Woods shaft. I'll check the mounts.

Motor mounts look good, I had my throw out barring and clutch change not too long ago, I wonder if its an issue with that?

Have you had someone else take off while you look at the rear driveline to see if there is any axle movement?

 

[308turbo]

yea what he said. check bushings in control arms, u-joints

Mine was doing this and it was the tranny mount. It's hard to see up in there but the rubber part of mine was totally in two pieces.

 

[Weldin Rod]

Thanx ill take a look at that when I get the chance.

 

[Shilohsho]

Y trans mount was also in two pieces at one time.

Trams mount was ok but one bolt was spinning on the backside. I had to cut it off,so I guess I'll have to replace it anyway.

Don't know what your future plans are regarding a tummy tuck, but you could throw a little extra coin in and get a lopro tranny mount from Undercover fab. It is a must have if you plan on having a completely flat skid if you don't want to make a separate cross member.

 

[Weldin Rod]

Got the new trans mount on. I think I found the problem, it's the upper control arms. The joints that mounts to the frame have play in them. Long arms are in future plans so what's the best fix for now?

 

[VOLT]

Are they the stock uppers?

 

[Weldin Rod]

No they are adjustable but I don't know who makes them, they were on the Jeep when I got it.
