Yeah, the shop said the ujoints and the yokes were fine. And he said there was a slim-to-none chance that the outer axle bearings were shot, which is what I thought was wrong, and why the wheels wobbled. I don't know. In retrospect, I wish I would have just spent the $500 on a junkyard axle.

So I made a post a while back about some vibes my Jeep was having. They happened during acceleration and went away when my foot was off the gas. Turns out that when on jackstands, the back tires actually wobbled under acceleration. Scary. So knowing it was internal axle problems and not wanting...

Well, here is an update for anyone who is interested and for the benefit of others that might have the same problem. I finally took the Jeep to another shop... one who is known for being really good with axles and had them look at it. Turns out the pinion bearing is shot, as is the carrier...

I pulled off the drum, but it didn't appear I could go any further without removing the C-Clips and pulling the axle out. Did I miss something?

Alright, so, another update: A got a buddy of mine over to help out a bit, and we found something intresting: We put the rear of the Jeep up on jackstands and gave it gas up to 40mph, where the vibration is always the worst. We found that both back tires actually wobble a little bit when we...

Internal diff work is over my head... both in experiance and in the tools I own. I did the lift and the SYE, but gears just... eh. I'll take the cover off and look at stuff... but I don't care to start taking things apart. I'll do that the next good day I have. Suppose to snow again tommorow. :(

Alright... well... here's an update. The weather got up to the 40's today, so I decided to bundle up and go wrench on it for a while... see if I could figure out something the mechanics couldn't. I started by removing the front driveshaft per all of your recommendations. I drove around town...

So... check my girlfriend for ticks? That's it?

Thanks for the reply guys... I'll try and answer your questions: I didn't loose a leaf spring shim, the leaf springs aren't broken, and don't appear to be bent. Yeah, I replaced the rear driveshaft with a Tom Woods CV style one. And the vibration is constant as long as I'm on the gas. It goes...

I'm in need of some serious help! A bit of background to the problem though: A couple weeks ago, I went out on a very light trail ride to Kephardt Run. The trail had been freshly bulldozed and provided absolutely no challenge whatsoever. I never even put the Jeep in 4WD. My girlfriend and I...
