I get a rumble strip vibration intermittantly at all speeds, regardless of gear, or o/d on or off. I think ive narrowed it down to a couple things. Ive read alot of threads on this issue and think i might have it, but wanted to see what you guys thought first. I have 2 pics.

First pic shows the lift spacer on the front axle, its a rc 2.5 b.b., the front being dang near a 3" spacer to level the jeep out.



It is my belief that this lift has caused my cv joint on my front driveshaft to reach its limit on angle. I notice that the vibration also comes and goes as the body sinks and rises with road features.

Here is a shot of my front drive shaft, near the transfer case, at rest, just sitting.


So my conclusion, is that its either this,or a bad torque converter. If it is my drive shaft. What are my options? Thanks guys

 

pull the driveshaft, go for a ride..

 

Good idea. I think i will tommorow evening. I wont have time tonight. But i will tommorow. I pray that it isnt a torque converter.

 

my DS has some vibration issues (its a Tom Woods 1310, he has it right now and is re-working it for me)

I had vibrations at various speeds.. pulled it, they disappeared instantly.. I have been driving for about 2 months without it. It works, but it feels weird driving a lifted JK that is essentially 2wd..

 

I will know for sure tommorow, but i am thinking it is the front shaft.

 

tagging to see if the shaft is the problem: there's some more ideas out there if it aint the culprit.

 

i just got that same lift kit today... now i dont know if i want to install it... what do you think? did you install that kit your self?

 

Yep, i installed it myself. Not too difficult really. I hope that it IS my drive shaft, that can be fixed without major work. We will findout tommorow.

 

how many miles and road conditions have you go with that before it started giving you problems? thanks keep me posted (knowledge is power) hehe

 

most likely your drive shaft was fine. With 5.13 gears your ds will have a very high rpm rate and your pinion angle needs to be just right.
