02 jeep wrangler driveline vibration possible fix

[@Nipsy2005]

Had a light popping noise under load when rolling 1st or reverse (manual 5 speed tranny). I also, heard the pop in 2nd and 3rd but very faint. Also, my Jeep would vibrate at around 50-60 mph on the E-way and then smooth out at around 60-70 mph. Found with my Jeep (6 inch ruby express lift and 16.5 inch tommy woods cv shaft) the crappy ass crown sye they tossed in was failing fast! Now with a high end SYE kit the Jeep drives like a 4x4 cadilliac.thanks for the video post!

I have a '92 XJ with the same problem. not lifted at all and I changed all my u-joints as well. it seemed to help a bit but I'm still getting a little vibration and a horrible noise too. cant shift into 4wd either because I get a bad grinding sound. all this happened soon after I swapped the transmission. in any case, your vid was helpful. I hope I can find my problem because I have 263K mi on the beast and I wan't it to last even longer.

I'm having the same problem at 70+ mph. 5"suspension with 1 inch body lift, slip yoak eliminator kit and CV rear driveshaft, Rubicon adjustable supperflex upper and lower control arms, Tom Woods heavy duty front driveshaft. My thought was the front output shaft bearing in the TC was bad. While pulling the belly pan I noticed the transfer case mount bracket torn on one side. I'll be installing it this week and see if that gets rid of my problem. FYI depending on the amount of off roading your doing that RC kit will fail you sooner or later. The bushings don't hold up. I had that kit and destroyed all of the bushings. If you really get into off road your going to find that spending the money once on the best stuff you can get. I'll post the results after I get the part installed

I'm 4 linked and long armed now , spooled in rear ox locker up front she is a trailer queen now lol

[@charliehollis5614]

So did it fix your problem and what was it

[@natecannon2265]

U said its a manual? Im guessing you eliminated the clutch throw out bearing being you werein the woods?

[@garyhawthorne610]

HELP PLEASE 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED VIBRATION BAD WHEN ACCELERATING CHANGED FRONT SHAFT U JOINTS STILL VIBRATING

[@ssorokin93]

Did the SYE kit fix the vibration?

[@robertpc100]

u have limited slip rearend.if you add an additive if it is pos trac or limited thats ok ,but if you have lockers or not dont use additive.just full synthetic

[@jorgenoneya5382]

The SYE alone will not solve the problem on a 2 door jeep, you need to combine it with rear upper control arms and set your pinion angle. Start with 14” in length on your rear upper control arms...

ok guys got the new gopro and new laptop so hopefully i can down load videos again. i have done alot of upgrades its a completly driffernt jeep now i will do a complete walk around alot of stuff i have done is diy stuff.

I have a 2003 TJ with a 2" puck lift, 33" tires. I had the gears changed out from 3.73's to 4.56's with Detroit Truetrac differentials in the D44/D30 axles. There is a very NASTY vibration once I get to 70 MPH and above that seems to come from the rear,..You can hear it and feel it in your seat. Seems fine at 60 and below. I have all new axle bearings and hubs as well. U-joints SEEM fine,.. but I'm wondering if this might have come up now that the driveshafts are spinning quite a bit faster with the new gears? I would imagine that if the gear set, or the axle bearings were installed wrong I would notice things at lower speeds as well. I never did more than about 70-75 with the 3.73 gears in. My thinking is that the driveshafts are spinning now with the 4.56 gears at what would be the equivalent of 90 or so with the 3.73 gears. Thoughts on this?

[@74chevyman1]

How did the vibration start? Did you lift it or change anything on it? If it just started out of nowhere check: Transmission mount ( mounts sits between skid plate and tranny/ tcase )Check all the U joints Check all your control arm bushings If you changed something like put on or took off a lift check your drive shaft angle Do you have a stock drive shaft or a slip yoke eliminator kit (SYE) ?Let me know what you find

[@wrenchingandwheeling1589]

Make sure you replace the ball and bushing in your double carden joint. Just replacing u joints will not solve it.

[@stevegunit16]

Did you ever put that SYE on , and did it fix the problem ? I have the exact same issue..

[@EmiratiAuto]

Did you fixed the issue ?

[@chevymanZ7188]

yes installed the sye kit and adjustable upper arms that fixed my problem i can give you more info if needed

[@stevegunit16]

I have a 4" lift or a little bit more than that ... Also have a 1" motor mount lift and no transfer case drop ... The different yoke is straight and not pointed towards the t case. It was fine till I went wheeling one day .

[@adrianboehm]

hay man thanks for the tips .. got the same problem

[@SkipppyJP]

Any updates on any of these issues. I have a slip yolk eliminator and my jeep just started vibrating in gear push in clutch it stops so I Changed motor and trans mounts no change. Could it be the harmonic balancer causing these issues?

[@74chevyman1]

I would guess more on driveshaft out of balance maybe knocked the weight off driveshaft.

[@SkipppyJP]

@@74chevyman1 i have a Tom Woods Drive shaft I will look to see if any weights fell off.

[@jorgenoneya5382]

You probably need adjustable rear upper control arms, along with your SYE and drive shaft

[@shanemorrissey7210]

so did the sye kit fix it i have the same issue

[@salcabron6580]

When i take out the driveshaft should I leave the short one just hanging their ? Or how does that work I have the same vibration problem Please please help

[@ceceliaglenn77]

Place my ignition in my 2002 Jeep Wrangler when I am in first yeah I let up off the clutch and all of a sudden it feels like I'm in the wrong Gabby cuz it starts to shake what is that

[@johnrastelli1724]

No luck yet ...vibes on highway ..all new upper lower rubber ...pulling trans out now ...vibes go away on highway when clutch is depressed.....I'll post when I find ...

[@maloy331]

did you fix the problem?

[@stevegunit16]

Ya , I checked the tranny mount and It was trashed. I replaced it , I replaced the Skidplate , put another driveshaft also balanced it , no noises in the rear diff and it's still vibrating at around 20-30 mph ..

[@bpittman]

Steven Galindo what was your fix?

[@chevymanZ7188]

Yes I did fix the problem, after basically ordering all new suspension with adjustable uppers C.A. , sye kit , all new bushings , New U joints , New drive shaft with the sye kit, it was a 30 dollar tranny mount. I went to install new lift and the SYE kit I removed the skid plate and my tranny mount came at me in 2 pieces. We had checked it for movement under load prior everything seemed good but how wrong I was $2800 mistake but hey it all needed to get done anyway

[@craigtreeguy]

I have the same issue and lift brand but 6 " long arm

[@jessieL8637]

The same thing happened with my 99 jeep tj I have a 4 in lift all I needed was a slip yoke eliminator and a new cv axle that extends and problem solved

[@stevegunit16]

I posted a video of my rear driveshaft spinning check it out please .. Let me know if it looks anything looks yours did.

[@chevymanZ7188]

how big of a lift do you have on your jeep? is your rear yoke pointed straight to the tcase ? let me know how your jeep is set up. there are a few differnt ways you can solve the vib. problem

[@chevymanZ7188]

if you havent yet make sure your tranny mount is good that can also cause vibration problems

[@chevymanZ7188]

When I was replacing it piece by piece I was on a budget and had found a lot of stuff on Amazon for very reasonable price my first sye kit and single set of adj upper control arms ect.... If you have to replace something check on there you can find some good deals sometimes

[@chevymanZ7188]

it was a busted tranny mount looked good but once I removed everything it fell out .
