Thank you for your help. I would have never thought of attaching the line to the upper control arm!

I am getting ready to install a new front axle and want to go with braided s/s lines. How much slack do you leave in the line for axle droop? I also have an under the passenger seat mounted air compressor and plan on running the line through the drain plug. Hoping that works.

Just an update but received the axle I ordered. The mixup must have somehow sped up the build time? Now waiting to get a few more items I ordered like Reid racing knuckles, wheel unit bearings and few other new front end parts. On a side note they still haven’t picked up the UD60 axle!

Agreed!

Yes, it was! More so for the thought of swapping out my stock axles for 60’s!

Decided to purchase a Dana Spicer 44 with a 4:58 gear ratio crate front axle for my Jeep Wrangler a little over a week ago. They told me it would be about a 14 to 20 week expected delivery time. Today I received a call from the freight company that they were at my house trying to deliver a...

I went over my alignment over the weekend and it was 1/16” toe in. I decided to adjust my driver’s side control arm back 1 turn. Before I did I remeasured the top of the ball joints and the driver side was actually at 7.5 to 8 degrees and the passenger side was at 5.5 degrees. after moving the...

I have been having a wandering problem with my JK since last November. It started right after installing a set of new Synergy HD ball joints. it settled down a little but is still wandering. Measuring my caster with a angle finder noticed that my passenger side ball joint is 4.5 degrees and my...

I contacted Yukon and they said it was a 7/8 x 14. Also gave me the part number of the correct pinion nut. They told me it is the same nut used in a stock set of Jeep Wrangler JK as well. I appreciate the help here! Hopefully I will get everything back together in a day or 2.

I measured the shaft and in is 7/8”. The Yukon ring an pinion gear set is the YKG012 4:56. It seems odd that it lists the rear pinion nut (doesn’t have the thread specs) listed as 1 5/16” and mine was 1 1/4”. I ended up ordering a 7/8 x 14 1 1/4”. Another oddity with this kit was the front...

Had my gears replaced (4:56) about a year ago by a 4x4 shop. I had purchased a set of Adams drive shafts and ran into a problem with the rear pinion nut. after I removed the stock driveshaft and started to remove the rear pinion nut I noticed it was badly deformed. It appeared to have been put...

You are right about wasting my money on an alignment! I have been doing my with a set of the stainless steel alignment tool I bought from Bleeping Jeep. A few years ago I did a high steer and tie rod install and used that tool and never had any steering problems or uneven tire wear. Just that I...

Ok, so I had a front end alignment and ended up with the same steering issue. I removed my steering stabilizer and it seemed to help just a little. Purchased an angle finder and my pinion angle is 0 and the top of the ball joint reads about 9 or 10 degrees caster. Still wondering how my caster...

I am actually doing a lift upgrade myself. I have heard so many good reports on the EVO plush rides that I purchased a set of 3” moving up from a 2.5” lift. Just waiting for some time to install.

Yes, it did need an alignment but the ball joints were bad (lowers on both sides). I will get some mileage on them and see how it goes. Thank you for your quick response!

I own a 2015 JKU and recently replaced my ball joints with Synergy HD ball joints. My rig has a 2.5" lift and before I replaced the ball joints it handled good with a slight pull to the right due to the bad joints. After replacing the ball joints my steering got flighty and reminded me of when...

I just went through the same thing in May. It was my spider gear with the same gear ratio 3:73’s. I decided to upgrade to 4:56’s. I was told by a Jeep garage mechanic that this is a known issue but not sure if I believe that.
