What is the warranty on the JE Reel DS's you sell, mines causing a major noise in the frt. Only had it a couple months. It's the OEM 1310 frt replacement. I took it off and no more noise, kinda sounded like when a u-joint is fixing to go out. But I can see where the u-joint ears seem to be contacting with the center ball- joint area on the top double cardin shaft. Any info, greatly appreciated.

I HAD the JE Reel front (still got the rear) but I couldn't eliminate the harmonic vibrations from it 'til I backed off the front caster to @ 3*. Well that eliminated the harmonics but the rig was, essentially, un-driveable. I ended up shipping it back and am now stuck (?) with the OEM front until my bank account recovers.

My vibration is between 50-60mph but from the rear. I have a 2 door and have had it rebalanced. Very frustrating. I am considering changing out to a flange type shaft from another company! T

I don't understand why this was moved to JK talk, I posted in the sponsoring vendor section as it seemed the place to ask about their services and such.

Davids great, Called JE Reel, nice guys there too. They faxed me a paper to fill out with measurements and stuff so they have the info it it when I send it in. Hopefully they'll figure out what the prob is and can get the correct shaft. Talked to them for awhile , the problem they seem to be having is that certain lifts of varying heights and varying amounts of flex are different from every manufacturer. I think we all know this to be the case with 3 and 4in lifts varying with how much lift you get with a given kit. I'm sure they're gonna take care of me, I just want it to be right, whether I have to go with a diff type of DS or not.
