Going to order a new front drive shaft. Just checked and....hard to imagine that it failed at this angle? It's not visually critical, pretty sure my 2010 DS was worse but this one lasted 18 months.
Interesting, let me try to attach it.Pics not showing. Where is your caster at btw ?
Adams or KOR are my personal favorites.
It doesn't look split. Looks stressed, Grease squeezed out from under the clamped area.Interesting, let me try to attach it.
The joint is not bad yet. Clean up the grease and keep a eye on it.Stressed as in needs replacing? I was surprised too because it doesn't look like its close to fatal angle. Here's another picture.
2.5 TF coils have been on there for 18 months. Jeep has been wheeled but recently more as we got a good bit of snow last week. Might have stressed it more during this time. I'll wipe off the spats and keep an eye on it. If they continue to show up then go ahead with the 1310?The joint is not bad yet. Clean up the grease and keep a eye on it.
Yep.. Are you running adjustable control arms?2.5 TF coils have been on there for 18 months. Jeep has been wheeled but recently more as we got a good bit of snow last week.

Stock arms, no geo brackets.Yep.. Are you running adjustable control arms?
Weird.Stock arms, no geo brackets.
Actually, adding caster makes the angle worse. The AEV brackets do claim more Pinion rise during articulation. If your issue was caused off road ... The brackets may help.Geo or drop brackets correct it and improve the angle of the front shaft? It's been a long time since I've read on them or thought of em.
A shop will charge a min one hour rate for install. Hopefully they should Road test it also at different speedsOk, just going to watch it then. I've wiped off the grease spats and will check it every couple of days to see if it comes back. Btw, how long do most places claim a new shaft takes to instal hour wise? Anything else needed if I do pick up a 1310 after installing it?
