I run a hp44 front axle off a '79 ford with the stock arms(radius I believe). It is still at full width.
I took it in to the shop the other day and the had the entire hub assembly repled along with new wheel bearing installed and u-joints.
I took the jeep up to Browns Camp ORV area on saturday and on the way up whenever I hit a bump the right side of the axle would jack itself up and down and cause the whole rig to shake violently and the only way to stop it was to slam on the brakes. Moderately braking wouldn't stop it.
I took it slow on the trails, did some rock crawling and what not but never had it jack around like that. Headed back to camp and it happened 4 times.
We camped out over night and headed home this morning and ended up having to drive on the freeway where it did it multiple times. Which is super scary going 70mph.
I got home a couple hours ago but had to run to a friend house. Its a total of five blocks to his house. On the way there and back it did it a total of 5 times. I went 10mph the last block and a half.
I'm incredibly scared to drive it right now. I have no idea what's going on. I checked as many bolts as I could and did not find anything to be loose.
Any ideas?
Heres a pic of my setup.
Please if any one has any suggestions let me know.
