I've searched, found a million threads but havent seen one that really helps me out. Put a SYE on my 242 (HnT only option) had a machine shop tap it for me. Got a front driveshaft, had a shop do a complete rebuild with spicer u-joints, balanced and everything. Shimmed it so the pinion angle is 1 degree lower than the output of the tcase.
Now the problems-first i think my output bearing on my tcase is bad, its leaking fluid slowly out of the output shaft now. Most likely caused my the vibrations right?
The main problem im having is a vibration at 50 mph+ when i LET OFF the gas. Acceleration is fine, and slower driving is fine.
From what i've searched i need to shim the axle so there is more of a difference in the pinion angle, but wouldn't that put it out of the recommended operating range and possibly give me vibes on acceleration?
Its a 2000 with RE 3.5 full leaf packs that sit at 4.5" 8.25 rear, 242 case and drop brackets that lower the tcase by about 1/8"...
