Weird vibration
Does the drive shaft (front) rotate while in 2H, on a 95 YJ. I have
vibration in the steering wheel and shifter at highway speeds. When I let off the acelerator, it stops. Thanks in advance. Greg |
Re: Weird vibration
Hi Greg,
The front driveshaft will rotate, even if the front axle disconnect is working properly, via friction. Usually it's a universal joint. You could have a bent driveshaft. Put it up on a rack and see if you can find it.

Re: Weird vibration
Having said that, if the drive shaft is so bent as to cause a vibration in
2HI, odds favor it not spinning due to friction with the oil inside the differential. Bill is correct, the driveshaft _can_ turn as a function of friction between the gears inside the diff, and the oil. But, the friction is not great, which is a function of oil. Cold, extreme cold, might play a role in this, but I doubt it. "L.W.

Re: Weird vibration
Hey Bill, Thanks for the input. What would I be looking for?
