Asking for Help

[NomadJeep]

I have never gone completely out and asked for help on a board but I am extremely desperate....

I am at my wits end.... I am having so much trouble with my YJ, and I have no idea what to do next...

Anyone able to help me try and chase down a vibration in my rig... I have replaces every part thinkable and still,, I hit 50 mph and it is a humming vibe.....

Recent things done,,,
Dana 44, gears, detroit...
New HD rear drive shaft
front ujoints
front gears and locker,
front hub assembly////

I am at my wits end.

I have been chasing this and now that I have taken everything apart several times, I am about to snap....

there are stories behind every part change,
but now I am thinking,
bent axleshaft
damaged locker (skibums)
something wrong with the front end,......

I need to get it off the ground and run the wheels and see what vibs/ or hums....

I am counting on this rig for Paragon, and if it aint ready, I cant go.....

Anyone? I will trailer it were ever....

The XJ could sleep outdoors for a while. Bring it over.
We'll start with putting a dial indicator on the axle shaft flanges and go from there. I've got plenty of large jack stands to do a dry-run in the air and watch things spin around.

stupid thing is causing me to loose sleep

I can turn a wrench with the best of them.... but man, this is a friggin ghost....

[xjmark]

I'll call you Monday to make sure it's a go.

Damon, I will make it right if it ends up being the locker. Are you running the same tire/wheel combo as before?

 

[Josh]

Ah...that's good to hear

 

[xjmark]

It was out by 10 degrees. It was noticeable without measuring.

 

[NomadJeep]

Well the story goes, I have not put in the uses shaft (thanks Marks) becuase there was still a vibe a higher speeds. So I was trying to chase that down... well it turns out that it is the brand new HD sahft from Tom Woods,, so they are sending me a new one....
