I have been chasing a drivetrain vib in my xj. It started after I did the 4.56 gears. I started by removing the front driveshaft. With the front driveshaft removed the vib goes away. So I put new joints in it and had it balanced. It didn't help, when I put it back in the jeep the vibs come back. So I swaped the front and rear driveshaft, no change it still vids. Then I ran the front driveshaft in the rear with no front shaft and there is no vibs. I am not sure if its the driveshaft or something else. I would like to take a look at someone's XJ and and if possible put my front driveshaft in theres and see if it vibs or not. I have looked at the transmount, front yoke, and xfer case yoke. The only thing wrong is the xfer case yoke bearing is not as smooth as it could be, but it doesn't have any play in it. So I don't think its a problem. If there is anyone in the Ft Worth area that is willing to give me a hand that would be great. I will do the work and buy the beer.
