Ok I will do that tomorrow. I'll remember to mark it where it goes also, I
read somewhere that if you put them back on out of phase or something like that it'll make things work. Troy |

Re: 4 inch suspension nitpicking
Out of phase is pretty hard to get to unless you take apart the
driveshaft. The u-joints need to be lined up so if you sit the driveshaft on the ground and the front u-joint lifts up pivoting on the driveshaft, then the back one has to lift up also pivoting on the driveshaft, not move sideways. Or the 'ears' the u-joints fit into on the driveshaft have to be parallel, not one end level with the ground and the other end vertical.

Re: 4 inch suspension nitpicking
Right now, my rear end isn't where it's supposed to be. I can tell this
because one wheel physically sticks out past my flare and the other is slightly inside the flare. My front is slightly screwy too. In my case I also have clutch linkage issues which led me to go looking for the trouble.... My body has shifted on the frame though. I have to sit it under a big tree with a winch on the roll bar to lift it and loosen the body bolts to square it back up. So where exactly did you get hit in this 'accident'?

Re: 4 inch suspension nitpicking
I was on a one way two lane road, making a left turn from the right lane.
The left lane car should have been making a left turn also but he went straight and hit me square in the side as I was turning left. His car was a little pos and went under my jeep. Luckily he hit my step bars under the door, cuz I didn't get any body damage, but it pushed me sideways (from the left) into the curb on my right where I came to a dead stop. The right side of the rear end hit the curb and stopped me, bending the rear end up so I got a factory new one under there. Possibly the bracket being pushed so hard by the weight of 2 vehicles got a tad bent over? Or maybe the track bar folded a bit? I don't know. I'm gonna look around for that stuff again today. I'm about to go remove the front driveshaft and see if the vibes are from that or not. I'll let ya'll know what happens! Troy |
