    Rattle noise on cold starts

    So most recently got a rattle at cold startup. https://share.icloud.com/photos/08f8LOyMp_7cTqQn-Jt5uDN8Q Happens once every morning and never again till next morning. Looked at everything. Can’t see or think of anything that could make this noise. Lifters would do it for little longer if not...

    Caster and Pinion

    Let's talk caster and pinion. I get that there isn't a magic number for caster or driveshaft angle. I'm just trying to understand where about i should start at. Jerry would say go as high in caster until you get vibrations and back off. Looking at the service manual, it's 7 caster with .65...

    Shimmy at 65mph in a 2006 LJ

    Per previous post, I've spent the last two months chasing a shimmy. Some say it's vibrations, some say shimmy. With everything I've done and replaced, I'm at a point where removing the rear driveshaft or putting it in 4H eliminates the vibrations. Some suggest SYE and new driveshaft but that...

    Knurled to non-knurled ball joints

    So I'm currently experiencing some shimmy, and while I did everything so far possible to balance my tires, check them, road force balance them through a few local shops, my shimmy still here. Noticed a little play in the RC trackbar so replaced it with MetalCloak one. My 2006 Jeep LJ only has...

    LJ, Turbos, Supercharger And More

    So I'm going to reopen an old post or posts from years ago when Banks was still selling Turbos for TJs. From my most recent research and the idea of boosting my 4.0 2006 engine with 66,000 miles on it, seems the only options there is; superchargers or turbo. The problem is that the only...

    Hub Conversion

    So thinking of just saying screw it with trying to figure out why I'm getting vibrations after regear. Sure, I might be too low in gearing for 33s, but it was for 35s in the future. Had plenty of folks tell me I should go with 5.13s even with 33s when I stated I was thinking of doing 4.56. Long...

    Jeep Re-gear Vibrations

    Possible driveshaft or pinion angle issues

    Got a 2006 recently and while replacing some stock stuff, decided I'd go with 2" lift and 33 mud tires. The problem I'm running into is that at 45mph I get my wheel shaking left to right like they aren't balanced. It ends at 50. Wheels are at 28 psi cold per factory specs. Front axle angle is...
