Lost In The Cloud Chapter 59

I have non-adjustable arms in the rear on both the LCA and UCA. Solution: lengthen drive shaft and new pinion and balance drive shaft. Lifted truck drive shaft angle finder. 03-05-2011 08:06 PM. Could someone let me know what there drive line angles are for the 2 piece driveshaft? Also researched that "sometimes" the front pinion "could" pull out of the xfer case in a lifted scenario to the point that the splines are less than desired engaged on the output shaft. Changing from a stock Dana 30 or 44 front axle to a high pinion Dana 60 raises the front pinion height by a fair amount, so driveline angle changes are very minimal. He showed it to me and it doesn't look right but I'm not real familiar with lifted trucks.

Lifted Truck Drive Shaft Angle For Consistent

OLD - Suspension, Tires, & Wheels. Especially if you wheel. The more I learn the more I come to the conclusion that the my best bet is to put skid plates on the JKUR and run it stock. I currently have a slight vibe at highway speeds (even after putting the shaft in phase). 2 piece driveshaft angles with 6" lift. Need more lift, would the drive shaft be ok? Join Date: Jun 2010. I want to know what others have and it you have had similar issues.

Since the diff will torque up under power, I figure the diff should be 4 degrees up instead of 7. hows my thinking? Another driveline angle question. But due to the loose bearing it's impossible to know what's causing what now--and I don't remember when the vibe it started. I could go to a 1 piece shaft but there not cheap and I would still have to work the driveline angles. Truck has what looks to be a 6" lift. 5 driveshaft will not explode or break as soon as you look at it, but it will go sooner than it would have at zero lift. I want to verify any potential causes prior to fixing what might just be symptoms!

Lifted Truck Drive Shaft Angle Finder

Anyone running a 3 to 4 inch lift tell me what your drive shaft angel is after the lift and how it's running with that angle. Of course you will need to measure with an angle finder what degree of degree shim to plug and chug. Possibly causing a vibration or premature wearing of the splines. 5 degrees and rear pinion is up 5 degrees. Impact of lift on drive shaft angle. Perhaps that was actually my driveline prior to the bearing getting loose?!? You might want to consider getting rid of that driveshaft spacer too, it shouldn't be necessary. You'll be fine, if not some degree shims will set you straight. Pretty serious vibration 55mph to 65mph.

5in higher then the back. Smartest words today!!!! Any Constructive suggestions and inputs would be greatly appreciated. A rear DC driveshaft (and even double DC shaft) is also an option and has helped other folks. I've got an HDJ81 with a 6" lift and since I bought it a year ago the rear output bearing on the TC has become loose AND the output seal on the rear diff has started leaking. I'm new here, just got a 1999 2 dr Z71. I also ended up having a large frame problem when my rear lower control arm bracket decided to disconnect from the frame due to rust. Transfer case points down 6. Ive been trying to find a transfer case lowering kit to help take some of the angle out but can't find anything that is supposed to fit. Lifted truck drive shaft angle sensor. You should be fine though.

Lifted Truck Drive Shaft Angle Gauge

I did an 8" rize lift on an 06 SCrew with a 6. Example: driving on a road with waves. Another driveline angle question. They lifted it a lot more then 3.

You must be registered for see images attach. Sounds like i'm hearing now that the angles should be the same at rest. 0 degrees, and the rear pinion is at 4. New ujoints both ends of the drive shaft. RubiconSS this is EXACTLY what I'm trying to do. U. S. Military - Veteran. Maybe a 1/16 of an inch play. Think about longer the driveshaft, the lesser then angles will be versus a shorter driveshaft and that same amount of lift. Location: Maricopa, AZ. Lifted truck drive shaft angle lowered cars. What say the knowledge base? I should be putting these on this weekend so I will update the thread with hopefully a post about no vibrations.

Lifted Truck Drive Shaft Angle Sensor

If dependability and reliability are concerns, stay as close to stock as possible. However, that has randomly disappeared for some reason. Also to complicate matters greatly, I realized in the process of measuring my angles that my rear shaft was assembled OUT OF PHASE for some reason (as in, really SUPER bad out.... 30-45 degrees). Like from the transmission to the pinion and axle housing. Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts. I've done a bit of searching but thought I would do a quick post and see what people's thoughts were. Because I cant go back to chunking u joints every couple months since that's what was happening from all the axle wrap I had or at least I believe that was the issue. Looking at the angle on mine and wondering what everyone else has and if there have been any issues with it. If you start getting vibes at highway speeds, then throw a degree shim under your leaf packs to correct the pinion angle. So I finally got around to building some adjustable upper control arms. Vibration comes and goes with suspension compression. Reason I ask is becasue I rebuilt my entire rear suspension, new 2, 025lbs leaf packs, new hangers, and new Bilstein 5100 Shocks.

I believe that this itself might have played a much larger role than the angle offset in causing these issues. So I need some help, I have been dealing with a ton of rear drive line issues. My mech seems to think I could have serious issues, like shearing the shaft if I drive highway driving so I need to get this fixed. Does that sound about right? The vibration on my truck has been so bad that I stopped driving it and have been just driving my car for the last while. I added a 3/4 inch spacer to the rear end pinion thinking that the lift pulled the drive shaft out too much. The long drivelines on Rangers lends them to be very tolerant of lift heights. 6" lift and a two piece drive shaft. Anyways I would like to fix it as its really annoying and now it appears to have worn my carrier bearing and U-joints, I know there are guys that repaired theres on here so I really could use some help. 7 degrees out of spec enough to cause these issues?

Lifted Truck Drive Shaft Angle Lowered Cars

Current thought then is "drive shaft isn't long enough causing wear on the splines in the pinion to the transfer case" valid? Up to 55 and after 65, smooth. Confused.........

I emailed zone offroad, they said a two piece drive shaft is rare and there kit does not include any spacers, but one of there vendors installed a carrier bearing relocation bracket from a f250/350 and it worked. There did used to be a weird buzz during acceleration at a specific (narrow) RPM which I attributed to an exhaust rattle (because it sounded like a loose piece of sheet metal rattling under the rear of the car). Did you shim the axle or drop the rear of the trans or??? I think I should get adjustable UCA's and slightly adjust the angle prior to fixing the loose bearing/leaks. This does not strike me as coincidental. The max from the documentation posted above says no more than 3 or you get conflicting sin waves which result in the vibration.

Can they get THAT loud?!? I picked up the builder parts off of TRM customs. 11-02-2009 11:21 PM. His carrier bearing on his two-piece has and angled mount which corrects his drive shaft angle to about a 160 degree angle instead of about a 110 in the joint.
