For those with RE SYE how much runout does your flange have???
And did you experience a drone about 65+mph and what you did to fix it?
Last week I installed a New RE SYE hack and tap in my 2001 XJ on a 242 TC (no HD unit for it). I took it out on the freeway and noticed a loud drone(can't even carry on a conversation with passagers) at 65+mph. Went home and pulled the rear shaft and noticed the flange had a slight amount of movement. (.020) I double checked the bolt to make sure it wasn't bottoming out.
With the jeep in drive, idling about 25mph the flange has signficant runout. I took the jeep back out onto the freeway with only front shaft in and was able to go 85mph without any drone. So I am sure that the flange is the culprit.
Any help would be greatly appricated
Thank You in advance
PS I am working with the place I purchased it from for warranty or what ever we come up with.
