2"+ lift vibration

**stig0000** · 18th April 2010, 09:30 PM

well i finally fitted my 3" lift on he weekend,

all went very well and easy in/out,

very exited at how it looks and stands,,

but its never easy on this great cars

i have a driveline vib at exactly 55kph,

to start i ordered a very soft 3" so its actually sits about 2 1/2" from standard. As i didn't want a 2" HD springs as id prefer the ride to be softer, and plus it will flex better with the flexy coils anyway

but yes i have a vib at 55,, and im suspecting its the front prop,, so im going to get a double cardon prop, are the D2s and fenders front props interchangeable

and how much is good price for one,, or is it better to get my front one rebuilt to a better joint, and yes all my joint are all ok and well greased

hopefully it is , as you say, a driveshaft issue. Would re-balancing it help?

Whey you say "i have sus stuff" do you mean "suspect" - thought that meant bad

He most probably mean sus stuff as in "suspension stuff" the online store, but i stand to be corrected.

I believe you can use a D2 front prop shaft plus the d2 drive flange. When I was contemplating this, new parts were going to cost upwards of $600.

wouldnt castor correction bushes / rad arms resolve this? i thought anything over an inch lift on the deefers you were in the territory of unwanted vibrations?

Thanks

D2 style front shaft will fix this, but fit a HardiSpicer DC joint to it or it will fail!

You'll need the D2 front output flange as well (easy to change over)

When you lift a defer up to that hight it has the front prop shaft uni at the T-case end rubbing on it's self and this is the corse of the vib, seen it before. I wouldn't use a D2 front prop as they are built abit on the cheap, no grease points, get yours modified by local Hardy Spicer they use good components, it will cost abit more but will last longer.

The other point mentioned was front radius arms, these correct castor angle which is lost by the lift but effects the pinion angle, in my opinion the best way to fix this is by fitting slotted swivel hubs, this corrects the castor angle and dosn't interfer with the pinion angle
