Front axle shims - 95YJ
 

Just putting a BDS lift on my 95YJ. 4 banger auto. When taking the front
apart, I found that there were shims on the front axle. Never seen that
before - the question is I don't know whether to keep them on there with the
new lift or what.

Anyone?


Thanks!

Re: Front axle shims - 95YJ
 

These are caster shims. Caster is part of front end alignment and
contributes to ease and stability of steering. Adding a suspension lift
almost certainly changes your caster. I would keep the shims when
installing the lift, and then take the vehicle to a front end shop to have
the alignment checked. Then you might have to take them out or put
different ones in. Oh well...

Take the wedges to the shop with you so they may put them back in.

But they'd charge me for that. And I'm a cheapskate, in addition to not
trusting (most) shops.

Re: Front axle shims - 95YJ
 

So you're going to take it home, install the wedges, and then bring it back
in to get the alignment double checked again? It is highly recommended to
have the final configuration verified, rather than calculating which wedges
are needed and slapping them in. You do have a point about most shops
though. Imagine the torque their air tools will put on your U-bolts...

You're supposed to use a torque wrench on them. People question my tiny
little Craftsman air compressor and lack of air tools, but there is
reason in my madness...

Earle, will you get yourself an impact wrench? ;-) You'll be able to
throw away that can of penetrating fluid.

Re: Front axle shims - 95YJ
 

Real men do not need impact wrenches, or penetrating fluid, just muscle
and a torch. Did I mention my friend in Crozet, Virginia who once
removed a shock mount (the whole thing) with no other tools than a 44
magnum pistol?

Re: Front axle shims - 95YJ
 

Damn straight! Did I ever tell you about the time my neighbor's wife
drove his Porsche through my garage wall and destroyed my lawn mower?
If there's anything better than destroying a lawn mower, it's having
your neighbor's wife do it for you with his Porsche, and then apologize
profusely and pay for it!

Re: Front axle shims - 95YJ
 

I finish em up with a torque wrench - but if you set your compressor to the
desired psi it comes out pretty close.

Re: Front axle shims - 95YJ
 

You remind me of my Dad doing a roadside tyre change on our LandRover (whose
wheel nuts peculiarly would get tighter the longer they were on) .. he
applied so much pressure to the wheel brace by hand (no extension bar) that
the wheel brace evenually bent (and it was a lot thicker than the one that
comes with the Jeep) ! The same guy had a head on with a 38 ton lorry and
broke the steering column before impact by bracing himself against the wheel
as he wasn't wearing a seatbelt. The accident investigator said he hadn't
seen anything like it before..

They had just moved to Seattle from San Diego, and were unloading the
truck. Hubby was sick, so wifey volunteered to put his Porsche in the
garage next to mine. Unfortunately, she forgot about the manual
transmission and put the car not only through the wall but through the
lawn mower too! ;o)
