So I have a vibration/shudder at 55-60 mph. Anything under or over and its as smooth as,well its smooth. Any ideas?
-
due to lift?
steering wheel shudder?
speeding up?
cruising at 55?
on the budget lift, did you mess with any of the steering linkages?
try to shake the shafts and see if there is any play?
bad u-joint in axles/drive shaft. it was sitting for a while perhaps one is siezed?
well take a look at the car show.

Yeah... so I have a noise.... it's a knock or a thud or something.... coming from the front or the back or something.
Any Ideas?

thats easy! It is from the piece of whatever it's called, you know right behind that thing that hangs down next to the other thing right there next to it. It's loose so all you need to do is tighten up the adjustment on it. that should bring everything into allignment. but if you are going to flex it I recommend upgranding to a disconnectable, spring loaded job. I believe they sell it either at summits, or whintney, or quadratec, or some store anyway. you probally bent it last time you were doing that thing over near the trail. But i could be wrong. ;D
NO HARD FEELINGS, JUST HAVING FUN

That's f-n funny

i think he is ignoring this thread now...
any finding's yet??
-
Not ignoring. It seemed on the ride home the shudder now starts around 50 and gets really shakey braking on the offramp between 60-50. Hey if you think my discription is bad about this you should hear what I tell the Doc when I have to see him.

sounds a bit like classic death wobble does the vibe go away when ya give it a bit of gas?
-
Death wobble goes away when you break so thats not it.
Trust me Ive had it pretty bad in the jeep. Bad enough to break the control arm brackets loose.
-
So the guy I bought it from said he thought it might be a bad ball joint, is this a system of a bad ball joint? if so, can I fix this or is it something a shop must do? If a shop should do it,is there a shop around here that you guys trust?
-
Rebel Fabrications is a great shop! so it JT 4x4 wrench fest. Ball joints can be done by you (w/ help, if you want, just ask)
-
Ball joints are easy. Hey maybe we can do a Wrench fest. I have a broken U joint that needs fixing and a track bar bolt that needs replacing.
-
Wrench fest sounds great.
-
hub assemblies
alignment
exhaust
rear main seal
I have this whole weekend off, so if we do it this weekend I will definatly be there! i promise! the only thing I really need help on is the alignment. (never did one)
Alex, how's the shop looking for this weekend? Oh, Happy late Easter too. (had duty, phone off)

Not saying it isn't possible, but how often does a 45min repair end up taking like 5 hours?

depends on how much fun we're having ;D

Hey guys, this thread was hijacked. We are meeting up earlier than the afternoon and the rear main is at least a two hour process. So like I said we can wrench on sunday I want to have fun on sat.

ok, joking. sunday sounds good for me. I want to get some trail time too. This is my first weekend sice getting on the boat and i'm trying to cram everything in that i can. I've been working on the heep over lunch to try to get it out of my driveway.
-
You still have the old scrap in your driveway! I thought you towed that off already?

yup, just bones now. I could probally fit it in a dumpster. The only thing left i want is the engine/tranny. need to get ahold of a cherry picker and then i'll be done. only things left to trow away is tub, gas tank, frame. everything else is either gone, or i'm keeping. I'm going to put the red fenders on the tan yj this weekend, so there is a chance I'll be wheeling w/out a front clip saturday! ;D
-
i'll make a deal with you: after my interview tomorrow, follow me home, pick up the cherry picker, and take me back to base (i've got to get both vehicles home still). what do you think? probably be around 2ish (or i can go to they gym and do it at 4). Give me a call!
