what kinda wobble?

Scored a overhead console from a 99 at the junk yard. Gotta put it in my 99, but dreading it. Maybe it will go easier than I expect? Doubtful.

 

[90xjsumner]

well I'm hoping that something as easy as a re balance fixes it but the wobble is pretty bad at about 40. the frustrating thing is that my last 5 days off Ive had Ive worked on the front end trying to fix it. did adj lower control arms, all new axle and wheel bearings, track bar, all tie rods and tie rod ends and a beefy stabilizer. don't know what else it could be. if its my tire balance Ill be happy and mad at the same time since for some reason it slipped my mind to do that first lol. but at least I have a lot of new front end parts.

Have you pulled the front driveshaft.. Could be a bad Cardon joint:wave:

I`ve been there before, Took the driveline loose from the D30 ,wired it to the lower control arm and drove it .The Cardon joint was stuck at a slight angle .The center ball needed greese..

Yeah. If there is a problem with the front driveline it can cause a nasty wobble. the driveshaft has to spin in perfect balance just like a tire. :sunshine:

 

[90xjsumner]

so should I take the drive line out and drive it to see if it shakes still?

 

[hards91xj]

Drove it ,washed it so I could put new :: dirt on it Sat.

Yes or at least take it loose from the front diff and dont loose the caps and needle bearings and use a bunge cord or wire to hold it toward the control arm while you take it for a drive to see.

Walked outside last night, looked at the Jeep, Trailer, and truck that should have been going to NWFest... then walked over to the Jeep and kicked it... just because. :banghead:

2 NWFests in a row that I have to work through. 3rd time's a charm! (Hopefully)

 

[NickThePyro]

Hmm. All I see is a bunch of red X's???

 

[LilyBayXJ]

Had 31" Goodyear Wrangler Authority's mounted, installed my CB radio, adjusted the Hella 500's, and just got back from some night wheelin to break in the new tires. Suprising amount of tread for an All-Terrain, I'm wicked impressed.
