Also it’s the upper control arms you adjust. The lower is for axle placement. To add to his logic.

You’re absolutely right my bad. I fixed it. I have a pinion angle of 2 degrees and operating angle of 9.3 degrees. Earlier my pinion angle was .2 degrees and operating angle was 10.5. Sorry if I was using wrong terminology earlier. All new to this. My bad. But she is happy here. I’ll...

The fix is in!!! Guys at CPW (central parts warehouse) in IL. We’re on the same page with setting the caster at 5. After all set and done the pinion angle went from 11.6 degrees (caster of 6.6) to 9 degrees with a caster of 5. Did a full alignment and had me take it out on the highway. The...

That’s good to hear. I’m on the fence… it’s small vibration at 60 felt through the floor. Not sure if 5 degree caster will take it out or if I should shoot for 4 degrees for the better pinion angle. How much of a difference is there in the steering between a caster of 5 and 4?

I didn’t I didn’t delete the FAD. 2024 and up don’t come with a FAD. They have a block off plate. I would love a fad since it already has the weaker split axle.

I wish I knew that about the 1310. They don’t list the negatives on the product description 🤣. I’m learning for sure. First jeep

Great advice! And yeah u can get away with it but eventually she’ll need one. I’m gonna see if a caster of 5 splits the difference between steering comfort and getting rid of the vibration

You’re the guy I’ve been looking for hahaha. I’ve been trying to figure out what I need to do to install the rest of the FAD. Is it just the motor? Anyways I’ll know Wednesday if a caster of 5 will take the vibration away. I have a 3.5 in lift so it’s a must for pinion/ driveshaft angle with...

Haha I know…. I’m a FF so I can roll with the best of them. But I also don’t mind letting people know when I have an issue. I don’t name call or usually don’t even bother but I did this time😅. Just didn’t know what his deal was. I’m over it. And thanks for jumping in. I figure that’s...

I’ve kinda had it with ya lol. I’ve kept my peace but you have had something negative and conflicting to say with every comment. That’s where I was told to measure. I moved it around multiple spots and they all read the same. You were completely wrong with your advice on caster angle. Only...

So I got ahold of my alignment print out and found I was at 6.6 caster. Putting me at a 10.5 pinion angle. Talked to the guys at Adam’s driveshaft and they agree that angle is to steep. They said I should shoot in the 4’s for caster but might be able to get away with a caster of 5. So my...

I’ll keep ya updated if I figure it out. Seems like the reason there was a FAD. Without it….its pick your poison. Hopefully I have this sorted out by tomorrow

If adjusting the caster doesn’t work I’ll return the driveshaft to Adam’s. Thanks for the insight

Good idea. All within my capabilities. Just got a Klein level to check angles as well. Was gonna go through the shop since their work is under warranty and they can do an alignment. But like you said if I’m equally adjusting the he control arms a little at a time I shouldn’t need an...

All adjustable control arms. The angle is at 5.5. Are you assuming it was just lifted with non adjustable control arms and is sitting at at a bad caster? My gladiator handles great…that’s not the issue. It’s lifted but adjusted. Im definitely no expert… but from what I have been reading in...

It’s in that sweet spot now. If I had a FAD it wouldn’t be an issue. But since my driveshaft is always turning it doesn’t like the angle from the front differential in the 5.5-6.0. If it was lower, than my driveshaft/ differential angle would be inline. But now my steering will suck...

I got Dana spicers. Gears are nice and quiet. It’s a very small vibration might I add. Enough to drive me crazy though on the highway

Hello all! New to the forum and new to posting on forums but I’m at a lose. I’ve read many threads and feel with the 24 and no FAD there’s a new issue…. Here we go 2024 rubicon X. Just got a 3.5 Clayton overland plus lift on 38 x 13.5 nitto trail grapplers. Also got an Adams 1350 CV...
