How to reduce driveline vibration on lifted Jeeps?
If you still have a stock set of tires, consider swaping them on, to reduce mud-terrain noise/vibes from the equation. Once the rear gets dialed in as good as it can possibly be, consider removing it, replacing the front, and driving around testing it in ONLY Front Wheel Drive.
Why do I have vibration in my driveline?
Irrespective of the driveline setup, having the pinion yokes of the t-case and the axle being separated vertically by several/many inches, you’re inherently going to have vibrations…and the more separation, the more vibration. Period. Less lift = less inherent vibes…end of story.
Is it possible to do 80 mph with Driveline vibe?
It ain’t easy, but after fine-tuning my WJ, I’m able to do 80mph with VERY little driveline vibe (tire vibe is another thing, completely, lol).
What causes a clunking noise on the driveline?
Cause: Bad wheel bearings Noise: Driveline squeaking or grinding at any speed Cause:Worn or damaged U-joints Noise: Clunking when depressing the throttle pedal (takeoff) Cause:Worn U-joints; worn spider gears; worn axle splines; excessive gear backlash; loose yoke splines; worn slip yoke splines Noise:Clunk immediately after taking off from a stop
When do you feel the vibration in a jeep?
It happens between 55-70, comes, goes, stays for the most part. You can feel/hear the vibration at lower speeds but it doesn’t resonate through the steering wheel until it hits freeway speeds. It’s controllable sometimes by accelerating, deceleration, braking. It’s a stock suspension, 235/15 tires, daily driver Jeep..

Why is my Jeep Wrangler vibrating at low speeds?
Let’s say the vibration occurred for the first time at 50mph. later it became more obvious at lower speeds, until at low speeds of even 10 or 5mph the vibration is noticeable, then you might have something as simple as a loose wheel. The gradual progression is sign something is getting worse the more you drive it.
Do you need a lift kit for a jeep?
Basically, the tire size and lift kit go hand-in-hand. First, choose which tire to run, and then base the lift height off that tire size. Most Jeepers probably aren’t driving 10 out of every 1,000 miles on the trail, and will want a Jeep they can drive around town.
What does Jim Clark do for driveline vibration?
Jim Clark, Hot Rod M.D. — The process that can be used to address a condition called drive-shaft/universal joint cancellation, often referred to as adjusting pinion angle . This process can be used to eliminate the vibration and premature wear caused by improper orientation and phasing of the drive-shaft.
When does the vibration go away in a Jeep Wrangler?
Examples of these are: 1 Occurs at 55-60mph 2 Fades away once you accelerate over 60-7 3 Occurs from speeds as low as 10mph 4 Only when you let off the gas pedal 5 Only under load

Can you run a 37’tire on a 3’lift?
“You can run a 37” tire on a 3” lift. With a 37” tire we need to be able to move that tire back and forth in the fender well. The tire needs to go to the center of the fender well, so it can go up and down as you ride without rubbing.”
Is there a problem with my driveline vibration?
A number of problems can be associated with poor driveline performance, below we offer information on how to identify the problem and additional information on what may be causing the condition to help you in diagnose problems that fall into the following categories:

What causes a vibration in the steering wheel?
A badly warped brake rotor causes mild to severe vibrations which can be felt in the steering wheel when the brakes are applied. Any vibrations felt only while braking can most likely be accounted to your worn brake Rotor issue. As mentioned from the outset, you need to determine when the vibrations are most noticeable:
What should I do about my drive shaft vibrations?
These vibrations, over time, will create fatigue failures. I would recommend that the source/s of the problem be diagnosed and corrected. If this is a Wrangler or TJ, with any lift, installed or planned, one of the good tail shaft conversions, CV drive shaft and adjustable control arms (if applicable) be installed.

How are the vibrations of a flywheel absorbed?
The resulting torsional vibrations are somewhat, but not completely absorbed by the mass of the flywheel or the fluid effect of the torque converter.
