Hey guys, I installed a PORC sye kit and a Tom Woods shaft into my 01 xj. 33's, 4.56's about 6 months ago.
I had front driveshaft vibes for like 2 years, and I finally fixed all the vibes... it was perfect. Smoothest in 5 years.
On tuesday, I inspected my rear driveshaft and noticed that the sye yoke was totally loose. So I marked the driveshaft/yoke (so I could reinstall it the same way), took the shaft off, tightened the yoke to 150 ft/lbs as stated in the directions for the SYE kit. Reinstalled the shaft, and properly tightened the bolts.
Just took it on the freeway today, and there's a strong droning vibration from 50+. WTF.... I had just fixed this totally. I inspected the shaft and yoke, both look good. Did I maybe over tighten it?
Thanks!
