I searched the posts on this, and didn't find a definitive answer...
Since installing the 4:88s, I have a vibration coming from the front driveshaft. It starts at about 45 mph and gets worse as speed increases. With the front driveshaft out, it's really smooth. I replaced the front driveshaft to see if that was the issue, and it does the same thing with a brand new driveshaft. (the old one only has 59K miles on it!)
I'm thinking the driveshaft turning faster due to the 4:88s is magnifying whatever the problem is. Is this correct?
It tracks fairly straight, and the pinion angle in front doesn't look bad at all. (I haven't measured it) The alignment is recent, only a month or so ago. The transfer case was rebuilt 4K miles ago with new seals and bearings. The ONE bearing that was not replaced was the rear of the front output that's pressed into the back half of the case.
Is a manual hub kit the only fix for this problem? Hasta
Thanks!
