  1. XJ Cherokee Technical Forum
    I've got a 2000 XJ with 121K on it. I've been slowly building her back up. It's been about a year since I lifted it, and there's a persistent knock/bump sound, it almost sounds like the intro to Tool's Prison S*x when accelerating straight, accelerating turning left, but never accelerating...

    I can slightly twist/wiggle the rear drive shaft. Here is the video recording Is this normal? I can feel vibration/resonance from underneath when accelerating within a certain speed range.
  3. Engines & Drivetrain
    I have recently replaced the T150 in my 78 CJ7 with a T18, with a 4" lift and will now need a rear driveshaft that will be shorter. I am dropping the transfer case down with shims between the skid and frame as it would have been from the factory. With the standard stock driveshaft I had no...
  4. WJ Grand Cherokee Forum
    Hey there, I'm trying to figure out what u joints I need and which ones need the ball joint kit. I tried searching with no luck. My jeep is a 2003 grand cherokee overland with a double cardon in the front and 2 u joints in the rear. I have the 247 transfer case, dana 30 front and dana 44a rear...

    Hey guys! I'm somewhat new to Jeeps. I'm trying to replace my u-joints and managed to break the c-clip in the yoke. I managed to get one side out but the other side there's no longer any tabs to take the c-clips out. I've tries wd-40/PB blaster, flame torching it, hammering it out with a screw...
  6. WJ Grand Cherokee Forum
    I'd like to get advice from you guys before I waste any money on replacing good parts. The car is an 02 WJ Overland with 190,000 miles on her. The link to it is in my signature below. Here's the issue: There is a rub-rub-rub noise above about 25 mph that sounds like a failed wheel bearing...
  7. YJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    Picked up a new YJ a few weeks ago and been working on getting it cleaned up and tracking down all it quirks. There are a few. The strangest so far is that the transfer case engages 4wd where 2wd should be. So if I'm driving down the road in 2wd, if I push the lever forward, 4wd engages. I push...
  8. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    I had a clicking noise under my Jeep that sounded like a u-joint. when I tried 4hi or 4low, the Jeep would buck and sort of slam in and out of 4wd, it seemed. so I pulled the front drive shaft. the clicking went away, as did the bucking when in 4wd. today I pulled the outer u-joint off the CV...
  9. ZJ Grand Cherokee Forum
    I'm getting vibrations at low speeds so it's time to replace the u-joints. My question is what do I need to order?? I'm going with the spline u joints. I'm guessing I need 3 for the front and 2 of them in the rear? I have a 97 zj Laredo , inline 6, 4x4, non cv.. Is there anything else I should...

  11. WJ Grand Cherokee Forum
    It finally happened - my Rezeppa/Fixed Yoke front drive shaft bit the dust. Considering it had 135,000 miles on it, 35,000 and 3 years of which on a ~3" lift, I'd say it did pretty good. Let's start this post with an illustration of all the drive shaft options for our WJs: In a perfect...
  12. Jeep CJ Forum
    Just completed my first U-joint replacement on "new" 83 CJ. After a few miscues with needle bearings, finally mastered the install. Get this... the PO had just put on new U-joints! However, they had slop and looseness all around. They had TAIWAN in large print on the strap and CHINA-HEAVY...
  13. XJ Cherokee Technical Forum
    Okay, here is my newest problem. Inspection found faulty U-Joint in front axles. I see nothing wrong but they failed it anyway. I also have to replace the axles seals. I purchased all the parts from NAPA and have the axles out (not easy by the way) and got the U-joint taken down (originally...
  14. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    After getting my Reman NV3550 installed yesterday it did fine at low speeds (20mph) but when I hit about 40 it felt like I had little power and had a harsh vibration that sounded and felt like it was coming from the rear end. After a mile or so the rear U joint in the rear drive shaft snapped. I...
  15. XJ Cherokee Technical Forum
    I just started having a problem the other day while pulling out of a parallel parking spot. There was a steady grinding noise, even when I started driving straight. I put the jeep in reverse, and still there was a grinding noise. I let it sit for a little and then continued to drive and the...
  16. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    Hi everyone, I kind of need a quick answer here. I had front u-joints replaced about a month ago which require removing the front axle shafts. I have an axle leak on my passenger side at the dust cover. How likely is it the leak was caused by the u-joint work? Should the shop be liable? I don't...
  17. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    I am a new owner of a 1999 TJ 4.0L 5-spd. 174,000 on original engine. Now for the issue: Once the Jeep is warmed up (after 15-20 mins of driving) I will be either in reverse or in 1st gear turning into a spot and I hear a loud metal on metal clanging from underneath the Jeep. I don't know...
  18. XJ Cherokee Technical Forum
    :( So i just lifted my 98 cherokee sport (4.0L i-6) and betweeen 50-60km/hr i have a vibration. any speed <50 and >60 is fine. The rear i lifted using a bastard pack of leaf springs, and the front i lifted using coil over spacers. Did i miss a step? I've always thought to just do a transfer...
  19. WK Grand Cherokee & XK Commander Forum
    I have a 2005 Grand Cherokee Limit V8 5.7L Hemi 4WD... There is a clicking sound, I believe it to be the u-joint in the rear. Everywhere I look the u-joints say RWD... I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the u-joint for the 2WD and 4WD are the same?
  20. Jeep CJ Forum
    How much resistance should the front axle ujoints have with wheels turned if axle spun by hand? Hubs unlocked. Mine spin with little resistance with wheels straight, but have some resistance with wheels turned. I am trying to determine if they need to be replaced without disassembling. My...
