no incident. Went off-road one time. Only contact with rocks was the tow hitch.
I’ll take the rear shaft out again and drive it. I didn’t take it pass 65mph last time i did. I’ll get it up in the 70’s to triple check the vibration isn’t there with the rear axle out.
If it isn’t, from what i...
Wow. Seems like an extremely overly complicated solution to a problem that didn’t exist.
glad you pointed that out before i started pulling my front shaft out getting more frustrated when it didn’t make a difference.
Yes, you don’t feel anything until mid 50’s which is a low pitch wide vibration if you will.
It then becomes a more rapid higher pitch vibration from upper 60’s on up to as fast as you can drive
It was the rear shaft i took out and didn't feel the vibration.
Haven't done anything to damage anything.
I think i'm going to take out the rear shaft and confirm again that it doesn't vibrate. I've tried so many things to this point it's all blending together and i feel i need to start...
So I’m not a mechanic but from going down the rabbit hole and talking to a couple different techs could it possibly somehow be the driveline angle. I know it’s only a 2” lift but I’m completely grasping at straws here out of desperation. I think i need to take and have a fresh set of eyes put on it.
I’m looking at pulling the trigger on a 3” Rock Krawler pro x no limit lift. Thinking about complementing it with a set of falcons and trying to figure out if the 3.5 adapts are worth the premium.
is anyone running them? thoughts...
i didn’t try that. I will say that before i took it out I pushed and pulled on the shaft around the carrier and it did seem to have a lot of play in the bearing.
Strange for 6500 miles.
6800 miles. Chasing a driveline vibration. I dropped the rear driveshaft and test drove. Vibration gone. I too would prefer a solid shaft without the carrier bearing.
And out of curiosity for the techs here. Why did they go with the carrier bearing design. Seams like an over engineered solution to a problem that wasn’t there.
I’m no mechanic but the shaft seemed to have a lot of movement in the bearing And the angle if it were a straight driveshaft doesn’t...
