Vibration??
I have a '88 YJ with the Dana 30 front end with a locker. I have been
noticing a vibration lately when I get up to freeway speeds. So, I checked my front U-joints the other day and felt quite a bit of slop. So, I pulled the front driveline. I went for a drive without the front driveline and noticed the vibration was gone. Wahoo! So, I figured it was the u-joints and replaced both of them. I put the driveline back in and now I have the same vibration. What now? I suspect the bearing on the outputshaft of the trasfer case. What do you guys think? Are these hard to replace? |

You have 2 more u-joints that you don't mention..... The 'fun' ones to

How dry and sloppy was your slip joint? Also did you put it back
