Driveline vibrations?

I'm guessing your caster is off. Have you had an alignment done since you installed your LCAs?

No I have not. I checked everything and it all seems ok. Toe in/out is within an 1/8th. I know my pinion angle is off. Stock is around 4. Im at 0. So yea my caster is off. I need to get upper control arms so I can adjust the caster.

Caster measured on the ball joints should be 4. The location you took the measurement should not be 4. I'm pretty sure that if you're at a true 4 on your caster, then the front pumpkin will read 2.

Driveline vibration only occurs during acceleration or deceleration. So if the steering wheel vibration is there all the time, it's not from the drive line. An easy way to test it is while driving and in a safe area, put the trans in neutral. If vibration is still there, it's not the driveline.

As far as your measurement, I think it should be at +2 on the front of the pumpkin, assuming the ground is a perfect 0.

Ok my mistake. Thank you for that. In the front I am at 0 so my caster is off by 2. I will need to get front uppers to fix that. My lowers are fully collapsed.

With a digital level it reads 88 on the front, I don't know how that translates to 2 but must be the same thing

I'm surprised you weren't able to get it dialed in with just the lowers. What lift do you have and are you running a ProRock with extra caster?



I meant 2 degrees from 90, so you're statement is more accurate.

D30. 3in lift. 3-6in arms.

I see. Didn't realize there were different sizes. Was the steering issue there before arms were replaced?

That kind of symptom is usually related to tire balance, but check unit bearings as well.

I'm pretty sure drive line vibrations are only associated with after market double cardin shafts. It appears you have a stock shaft. Also they are best described as an oscillating feeling or sound more in the floor board not usually the steering wheel. To me it sounds like an unbalanced wheel.
