I just installed an RE 5.5 on a 90 xj, 4.0, aw4, np231. I am still waiting on my rear shaft from Tom Woods so am driving on just the front shaft.
I get a clanking sound from the front shaft that starts out slow and speeds up when accelerating. Only clanks under acceleration. I changed the all the u-joints in the front shaft.
When I installed the contral arm drop brackets, the directions said to reinstall the shims from the LCA bracket to the new bracket.
I figure that I can remove some or all of the shims and that would cause the LCA's to move back, pointing the pinion up. Can I do this without the front springs binding? There is only about 1/4 of an inch worth of those little, thin shims.
