    Creaking Sound from Rear

    Replaced the driver-side bushing and it seems to have helped, but I plan on getting an Iron Rock Offroad tri-link in the near future.

    Creaking Sound from Rear

    Re-torqueing and over torqueing didn't make a difference, which I assumed would be the case. I'm thinking something happened when that clunk happened where it shifted something with the bushing. The driver-side and passenger-side sit a little differently within the mount. Another thing I've...

    Troubleshooting vibration

    Called Driveshaftparts and he asked if I took the bearing apart or if it was apart at all when I got it. Indeed one of the ball bearings was out bouncing around the box when I opened it. I cleaned it and put it back in, but he said the alignment of the inner piece could have been off a little...

    Troubleshooting vibration

    While rebuilding the front driveshaft CV, the bearing seemed really tight, to where it was hard to get enough movement to get grease packed into it, but I figured once it was packed with grease and on the splines it would have the needed movement. Nope. Couldn't get any articulation at the CV at...

    Troubleshooting vibration

    Looks like I do have the same luck...lol. I took the front driveshaft out to rebuild the rearward cv and just drove it before I reinstalled. Still have the vibration.... Like you said a bit less growl, but still there. The rearward CV had some play and clearly was bad, so I was hopeful that the...

    LS swap

    I'm not sure if he's on here, but there's a guy in the FB group with a mean LS turbo swapped 4wd KJ: https://m.facebook.com/groups/200207843460208/permalink/2635928629888105/?mibextid=Nif5oz You might have to be part of the group to see the post.

    Creaking Sound from Rear

    I've searched through threads here and in FB with no luck, so hopefully someone has an idea that can help. About 3 months ago, I swapped the rear LCAs to Moog ones (removed the rear sway bar as well). No issues after. A month later I swapped out the tri-link for a Moog one. Both times torqued...

    Troubleshooting vibration

    Not encouraging but at least I'm not alone.

    Troubleshooting vibration

    I've had the rebuild kit sitting on a shelf in my garage for over a year...lol. I had originally bought it after we got the KJ, read up on common issues, and saw that the front driveshaft rear CV was a usual failure point. Never seemed like it was bad, so I hadn't pulled it, but guess its time...

    Troubleshooting vibration

    After installing the 2.5" OME/Bilstein lift (with alignment), I noticed a bad vibration between 35-50 mph. I've seen a few threads about the vibration between 35-50 mph generally being due to worn u-joints. I just replaced with Spicer HD non-greasable (5-1310X) u-joints. Of course I marked the...
