Caught the Bug
Just picked up the Jeep from ORE this afternoon after having them install 5.13s and a J.E. Reel 1350 front drive shaft with new yokes. Starting at about 50, I am getting a faint, high frequency, oscillating vibration/hum. It is worst at about 55 and slowly fades as speed increases but does not completely disappear.
Before gears and driveshaft, everything was smooth. I am running factory arms with AEV drop brackets. Caster was measured last at 4.8.
Thinking a set of EVO front lower control arms are in order to dial the caster down/pinion up a bit.
I should add that the plan is for these to be semi-temporary. Planning something like long arms with either bolt ons or DTD in the coming year or so.
Couple of quick questions:
1) Rough starting measurement for the EVO arms?
2) Rough caster pinion angles to start with? Maybe 4°/2°?
3) Thoughts on retaining the brackets? With plenty of highway driving, I'm tempted to keep the brackets for geometry correction and run them until the get bent up on the rocks.
Thanks guys!
