I'm in the process of installing a master kit in the 231. All the bearing and seals went in fine but when I started to install the mode fork and sleeve on the mainshaft it seems like the teeth are clashing on the bottom or the top of the mode sleeve. I cant really get it to sit correctly and...

Am trying to install this on my 2000 and everything was going well. Had to flatten the #6 exhaust pipe on the top side to clear the intake manifold and also ground the intake down a little bit as well on the bottom side of the #6 runner. Bolted everything up and for whatever reason the #2...

I installed a new pinion yoke on the 8.25 a while back and did not measure the rotating torque beforehand. I installed the new yoke and torqued it to spec but not rotating spec. Long story short I've been trying to shake down vibrations and have just installed 6* shims for my 4.5 inch lift...

I have Tom Woods shafts front and rear with sye. Driving about 60 and BANG! I just replaced the ujoint in the rear about 60 miles ago. Rear driveshaft apparently lost a cap. So I'm guessing the clip came out and then the rotation threw the cap out. The last time I had vibes I was removing...

Can someone tell me when they got there upper or lower control arms from rubicon express if the hardware kit came with bolts for both ends of the arms? Mine just came in and I only got bolts for the frame end of the jeep and two grease fittings. Seems to me I should have another hardware kit...

i have a set of zj lca's that i bought by mistake. i havent even taken them out of the box they were shipped in. shipping to cali is 25 bucks so anywhere in between should be less. i paid 80 for them last from naxja seller.

I have been looking at numerous d30 builds and see that the wj outer knuckles need to have a spacer installed to keep the u joint in correct relation to the knuckle. the one build up used machined spacers and machined hubs. i cant figure out how the spacer is installed as it looks like it sits...
