so.. after my 2" BB Daystar lift, i've been experiencing the phantom knocks from under my jeep quite often since... mostly on turning, over bumps, and going from drive to reverse quickly..
I've read multiple threads and checked all the possibilities that different users said bushings, joints, tie rods... and had a few more knowledgable people take a look... everything appears to be in good shape so the assumption of the person who looked at it who has owned lifted XJs said it appears the culprit is ujoint related.. I'm getting some pitch from the stress the 2" lift is putting on.. and I was told that it isnt terrible bc my jeep only has 40K on it.. but its a nice jeep and should be fixed to avoid puking a ujoint over time.
I was told a front end yoke extension in order to lengthen my driveshaft 2" would be the trick...i would not need to drop the transfer case.. just extend the front slip yoke so the ujoints arent pitched... does that sound right? it seems right to me...I have no good knowledge of this kind of stuff.. he wasnt trying to say to have them do it so he wasnt trying to sell me on anything and he seemed to be pretty certain this would be the fix...
can anyone tell me about this?
he said it was relatively inexpensive.. like 80 bucks.. but that seems like a trickier fix than 80 bucks.. help please?
