Hi guys. Experiencing vibes in my front end from about 45mph and up.
92 xj 4.0, np242, d30/d35, 3" bds lift, new trackbar, brakes, hubs, shocks, and all steering linkage. Ball joints are fairly new also. Tires are fairly new bgt at's, balanced out perfect. Only old parts are the control arms and bushings, but they show no signs of play. Nothing shows any play in the front end and all the bolts are torqued.
I tried rotating the tires, didn't fix anything. I rebuild the front shaft a few months back with new ujoints and centering ball. Didn't fix anything. I pulled the front shaft last week and all the sudden no more vibes. Check the yokes on the front axles and tcase and they are tight with no play. SO I figured it was the shaft.
My local driveline guy went to balance the shaft and it was slightly off. Had the shaft cut, rewelded and fixed. Balances out beautifully on the machine. I put it back in, grease up everything and bam, vibes are back.
Any ideas why????
