Hello All,
This is my first post ever on a forum so.... Here it goes. I have a 89 XJ, 4.0L, Dana 30 front, 35 Rear 3.55 TracLok Non- C-clip. 115k miles.
I have been chasing my tail trying to figure out a vibration. It occurs slightly around 55-60 and increases up to 70, it feels like it's in the floorboard but some transitioning to the steering wheel. I inherited the jeep about a year ago and have been trying to get it up to snuff. I found a loose U-Joint and replaced them on the rear drive shaft but also found that it was bent and had the shaft retubed and balanced. I got new tires put on and dynamic balanced them my self to 00-00. When I was changing the rear end fluid I found pieces of the TracLok discs in the case. -_-. Ended up replacing the carrier and LSD clutch packs, kept the ring and spider gears as they looked fine and trying to save money. It had a lot of problems obviously, but this is where I'm at now with the vibrations. Definitely better than when I started but can't get rid of the high speed vibe. Front end is tight and I drove it without the front driveshaft with little to no change.
Any help appreciated.
