Hello,
I got a 2010 2-door jk, base model, manual trans. Has a 4 inch lift and 37’s. The cv joints on the shaft kept blowing so I threw in a rough country rear drive shaft with a double Cardan joint on the t-case side.
While installing the driveshaft it was extremely hard to get it in. Had to compress the shaft a lot in order for it to pass the diff yoke. Even took a hammer to the shaft to get it in. I was doing it on my lunch break so it was quite rushed, but installed nonetheless. The new drive shaft is fully compressed when the jeep is on the ground. I thought for sure there should be some wiggle room. Almost like the driveshaft is too long. There’s also some vibration with the new shaft (probably because it’s fully compressed?). I don’t know too much about drive lines but I either got the wrong shaft or am doing something wrong.
I want to adjust the angle but can’t because I don’t have adjustable control arms. Any help is appreciated.
