pinion angle???

[mattvw65]

I just put a solid shaft in my xj to get rid of the disconnect when driving it home tonight I have a terrible vibe/noise coming from the front im thinking that it could be the pinion angle on the ft drive shaft. what do you all think?

 

[Shawn]

How about another pic of where it goes into the T case?

 

[Shawn]

I also don't think that angle is all that bad.

 

[James K]

Do you the inner axle shaft?

If so doesn't that mean that the front is always engaged.

the one at the t case is a double carden.

Is that a CV?

For got the word ....mean

????? i replaced the disconect axles {2} and installed a solid axle shaft passenger side it vibrates realy bad now

 

[mattvw65]

yep

Do you have a locker in the front?

 

[Shawn]

yep

When you run a CV, the pinion angle at the axle must have a -0- angle on it. Meaning that the pinion must point directly at the T case.

Yes, you are getting vibs due to this angle.

nope. not yet

so i just need to adjust my control arms to accomadate this ?does any one have the correct control arm measurement's?

I would think that with the soild shaft you have install ther is no give in the front now ie: lack of hubs to lock/unlock. Thus the front is now turn all the time where as the two piece shaft let it spin freely.

Just a thought.

Yes, exactly but the reason for changing this was the 4x4 only worked half of the time. It got really annoying having the biggest jeep in the neighborhood and not being able to get up the street.

so that is the reason for changing it over

but won't that goof my caster? What are the repercussions of bad caster?

yep,

you need to cut and turn the brackets or change the CV to U joints on both ends. But even then, the U joints need to have the same amount of angle.



in other words, you have some work to do.

Is that a 30?

well, with no CV aren;t the yokes supposed to be parallel? and with a CV they supposed to be 0*--3*? I'm not positive though so I may just be giving bad info
