I have been searching for a solution to fixing the PIA disconnect on my D30. I shimmed the fork over using a hose clamp on the fork shaft. Then the pads wore off shorty after. I bought new pads and they won't stay on the fork. They keep falling off and allowing the collar to slide over to disconnect the pass side axle shaft after about 10 minutes of 4wd.
I saw a post in an old thread about a guy who slid the collar over and used a hose clamp on the axle shaft to keep the collar from sliding over to disconnect. But I only found the one post and he never said how it worked out, how long he had it like that or if he had any problems with it.
I am upgrading to a one piece pass side shaft in the Fall/Winter so I don't want to spend any money fixing the current setup. None of the JYs have XJs with the disco axle, so I can't get a used fork. Has anyone else tried using the hose clamp (or any other thing) on the axle shaft to hold the shift collar in place?
I really need to get this fixed tomorrow so I can go out with my buddies on Saturday before they ship off to Iraq. TIA
