Rear Driveshaft Angles/Symptoms W/6" Lift

Saturday, 6 July 2024
That gives me operating angles of 9. Possibly causing a vibration or premature wearing of the splines. Vibration comes and goes with suspension compression. The long drivelines on Rangers lends them to be very tolerant of lift heights.

Lifted Truck Drive Shaft Angle Measurement

Because I cant go back to chunking u joints every couple months since that's what was happening from all the axle wrap I had or at least I believe that was the issue. Sounds about right I think after rear end torque. 6" lift and a two piece drive shaft. I'd doubt you'll get any vibes doesn't happen unless you run more than 5" or so (using stock pinion and transfercase angles). If anyone has a set up similar what aal and shocks did you use? A lot of people don't consider this, but you can lift your Jeep 3" without appreciably affecting driveline angles.

Lifted Truck Drive Shaft Angle Gauge

Pulled a rear section driveshaft from a donor truck (Original yoke was worn out) had the driveshaft re balanced with 3 new SKF u joints and new carrier bearing. You must be registered for see images attach. Of course you will need to measure with an angle finder what degree of degree shim to plug and chug. The vibration on my truck has been so bad that I stopped driving it and have been just driving my car for the last while. Can someone confirm? 7 degrees out of spec enough to cause these issues? Lifted truck drive shaft angle gauge. But due to the loose bearing it's impossible to know what's causing what now--and I don't remember when the vibe it started. The more I learn the more I come to the conclusion that the my best bet is to put skid plates on the JKUR and run it stock. Also to complicate matters greatly, I realized in the process of measuring my angles that my rear shaft was assembled OUT OF PHASE for some reason (as in, really SUPER bad out.... 30-45 degrees). I think I should get adjustable UCA's and slightly adjust the angle prior to fixing the loose bearing/leaks. Join Date: Jun 2010.

5in higher then the back. 6 degrees, the shaft at 12. Just after the lift. I believe that this itself might have played a much larger role than the angle offset in causing these issues. I had a local 4x4 shop custom build a bracket that dropped the carrier about 3"s and while it did help the vibration it didnt eliminate it, I went back to the place and informed the owner that it still had a vibration and he said he dropped it as much as he could and I would have to "live with it" cost me 100. Drive shaft angle after lift. So after all this I am still getting a small vibration between 25-35mph and nothing past that. Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts. Up to 55 and after 65, smooth. Especially if you wheel. I should be putting these on this weekend so I will update the thread with hopefully a post about no vibrations. 6" lift and a two piece drive shaft. Need more lift, would the drive shaft be ok?

Lifted Truck Drive Shaft Angle To Transmission

5 bed along with an add-a-leaf and it was fine, but I remember the shaft being a 1 piece. Measured on the fins of the differential and transfer case, Diff is 7 degrees up, transfer case is 5 degrees down. Lifted truck drive shaft angle to transmission. So it's a bit higher than the ideal of 1 degree difference (due to acceleration forces pointing the pinion up), but not crazy-bad. Perhaps that was actually my driveline prior to the bearing getting loose?!? You might want to consider getting rid of that driveshaft spacer too, it shouldn't be necessary. Anyone out there have any experience with this or have a suggestion.

Truck has what looks to be a 6" lift. I have non-adjustable arms in the rear on both the LCA and UCA. Current thought then is "drive shaft isn't long enough causing wear on the splines in the pinion to the transfer case" valid? You'll be fine, if not some degree shims will set you straight. Drive Shaft Angle Issue. There did used to be a weird buzz during acceleration at a specific (narrow) RPM which I attributed to an exhaust rattle (because it sounded like a loose piece of sheet metal rattling under the rear of the car). I just want the full picture so I understand all the ramifications of mods. Can they get THAT loud?!?
