I have been trying to track down a vibration for awhile and it appears to be my front tcase output bearing has failed. Long ago I had a wimpy little torque wrench when I installed the front aftermarket shaft. I don’t know what I was thinking, if I was even thinking at all... I took a short video...

Replacing my stock tie rod and drag link with some Currie stuff. My drag link is slightly bent and I managed to somehow crack the sleeve for the evo drag link flip. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

I ordered some stock replacement axle shafts and the passenger side has grinding marks and a divot about 1/16th deep. I emailed the vendor already, but I know they’ll probably just say this is normal. To me this is not normal. I feel like someone dropped the axle shaft and they tried to blend...

I goofed up a ordered a synergy bushing for my stock track bar, but the bushing fits synergy track bars ONLY. I tried to measure with the track bar installed and there’s about 1/16” difference from stock, so it won’t fit. I took the label off and put assembly lube on it, so I can’t return it...

Thanks for the write up! I referenced it during the rebuild. No shop press so I had to use my vise and worlds scariest snap ring pliers. My Johnny joint would’ve been fine but I over greased it once and blew the inner seal. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app
