From what I read, it is because these have a single u-joint on the pinion end which can't handle the angle, and a double u-joint set up by the transfer case which can handle it. So it can handle the angles, but only at back.

It is 34.5" collapsed and 38" extended. I am confused about something still - why do people say the lower CAs set pinion angle and the upper CAs control caster? It seems to me both rotate the axle, and since pinion angle & caster are tied together wouldn't changing the lowers' length change...

Thanks Scott. When I started Googling this I found a lot of references to vibrations on new double cardan DS if the pinion wasn't straight in line with the shaft. Removing the DS is next to see if it still does it, but it definitely didn't have vibration the day before with the old DS and...

2015 Rubicon JKU 4" lift, 35s 65k miles I got this JKU this summer and just noticed the front driveshaft had a lot of slop so replaced it with a double cardan shaft (single u-joint at front differential, double at transfer case). I installed it yesterday and now have a mild vibration at 55mph...

I said it was not making any noise that I could hear. But that misses the point, since the wheel bearing is not the only potential issue a Jeep can have that would cause it to pull to one side. My concern was that ignoring the issue and inflating tires to cover it instead of investigating it...

That seems like a poor idea. For instance if you had a bad wheel bearing causing this and just over-inflated a tire to mask it, you could end up with a real problem later on. Or if an alignment issue you'd ruin your tires doing that. I'm planning about 25 hours of driving to a remote area...

Yes - rotated tires (fronts went to rear, DS went to PS for both front and rear). I did adjust tire pressure to make DS higher by 3lbs on DS which helped alleviate the symptoms but made the steering feel a little odd. But I returned it to normal (29lbs each) because it was just asking the...

Alignment report I was given by NTB.

Hi all, thanks in advance for any help. - 2015 Rubicon w 4" RC lift & 35 Nitto Trail Grapplers - alignment done (toe only as no adjustable CAs), brake lines replaced, front driver side caliper replaced, tires rotated & inflated the same per manual gauge, non-charged steering stabilizer...
