Is normal? I have a new to me 01 4x4 that has had vibration at 55+ since I got it. Assumed it was pinion angle, but not too concerned because the lift kit is on the way.
I just got underneath and put sideways/up and down force on the front driveshaft slip joint and it is rather loose, shockingly loose might be a better word. I am a noob with 4wd XJs, so 2 questions:
1) Do I have to buy a new driveshaft? They seem pretty spendy, but I don't know if I trust a junkyard one. This is my daily driver, so reliability is priority #1. Also, there are a couple of shops that specialize in driveshaft stuff near me, better off going to one of them?
2) Is it OK to drive without the front driveshaft? I wasn't sure if that put weird stress on the transfer case.
