Drive Shaft is knocking at the joint at the transfer case - Advice anyone??

 

did you use a TC drop or a SYE?

if not then your probably encountering vibration problems and it should be addressed very soon.

Not driving the vehicle until corrected - This was discovered in short distance - What size drop should I install?

 

what year is your XJ?

if it has the sealed output, you can run around in FWD for the meantime if you have to (remove rear shaft and engage 4wd).

my jeep has spent probably 2 months of its life in FWD during times of despair with driveshafts

 

1994

 

it as a sealed output shaft so like heavy said you can remove the rear shaft and run in FWD for awhile. but i would highly recommend getting a SYE or a HnT to perminatly correct these driveshaft issues.

hnt?

 

hack n tap, basacally you cut the existing output shaft of your transfercase and put a flange on it. it does the same thing as the HD SYE's but doesnt replace the entire shaft. do you have the 231 or 242 TC?

heres the HnT

I'll have to check on that - not sure whether 231 or 242

basacally the np 242 has a full time 4wd option

yup so either of those SYE kits will work for you.

let me know if you have any further questions.

-Kyle

 

for now will a 2" tc drop work ok?

donnie

 

dont go past a 1" TC drop

but make sure a SYE is on your list of things to do.

Is the hd sye easy to install? I'm leaning towards that kit.

thx
