Everything still still seems good after a few highway trips. I longer wheel studs when I did the swap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So after testing with the backlash at .009 it seems a bit better. No noise at any speed. Im convinced the vibration is more likely a tire imbalance or something related. I noticed that with the disks being thicker than the drums the rear wheels don’t sit nearly as deep in the hub. I...

Ok, so I adjusted the backlash to .009 and the new pattern seems to now match the wear marks from where the gear ran before. I’m gonna fill the diff and run it tomorrow and see what happens. Hopefully I g eat lucky Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Damn, Well I just checked the backlash and it’s at 13 thousandths. I guess I’ll try and reset it at 8-10 and see if it helps. So if I keep having an issue my choices are hope it wears back in a bit or replace the ring and pinion gears? At that point I’ll just throw a locker in and...

I didn’t think to check the back lash before pulling the carrier out. I didn’t remove the ring gear from the carrier, so it’s position didn’t change. The reason I’m concerned is because both the loud clunk when shifting into drive and the high speed vibration are new. When I match the...

It’s definitely factory LSD. Even has the glove box still still I could see the clutch plates while it was out. I mostly put that it was Trac-loc to give full info on the diff Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello! I decided to upgrade my XJ to ZJ rear disks. What a great improvement! My issue is that while helping me reinstall the axles my nephew rotated the diff and spun the spider gear thrust washers out. Because of how tight everything was due to the trac-loc I had to pull the carrier to...

I know there has been plenty of back and forth on what fluid to run but I’d like to go with the factory suggestion. My issue is that I don’t know what fluid is currently in it. I’ve owned this Jeep about a year and have found more than one suspicious thing the last owner did. Is a drain and...

So I have an advanced adapter SYE coming. Every front driveshaft in the junkyards was missing. I picked up a front shaft from a 95 4.0 auto ZJ from a parts car. Hopefully that’ll work

well..... I dropped the driveshaft off at the driveline shop. They suggested that I run the jeep and watch the transfer case output shaft. Sure enough, big ole wobble in the output shaft. The bearing feels tight and I'd like to replace the shaft with a stock one but after searching for...

There is a little play in the slip yoke but not what I’d consider excessive. Have the steering stops installed

So... today i pulled the rear driveshaft and drove it. The vibration was completely gone. Apparently the u-joints weren't enough? I guess It needs a balance as well? I'll work on getting it balanced this week. The chatter while turning is still there but I'm kind of over worrying about it...

I had the tires replaced and the vibration was exactly the same. I did find the tie rod end on the passenger side as loose. The PO replaced them and only finger tightened them. I torqued it properly and found the stabilizer nut on the track arm was loose but it stripped at like 20ft/lbs. i...
