OK, 2001 XJ. I lifted it (mild- OME JC1A + MJ shackles) several years ago and shimmed to cut down the vibes, I lived with it until I could afford an SYE. So here's the issue- before the SYE I had a funny "chuckle" sound at acceleration, and a low frequency hum/thrum at speed (70). Now the chuckle is gone (helps when the d/s is the right length!) but over 65 I have some vibes that were never there before. Also a vibe going through 35 (or thereabouts). Vibes disappear when you let off the gas, and seem to vary as the suspension flexes while traveling down the freeway. Should I have removed the shims that I installed to eliminate the vibes before installing the SYE? Or should they stay in there? Real experience please, not conjecture- I know with the number of folks on this forum with SYEs there has to be someone that can answer! Thanks.
