Jeep rear end, ring and pinion troubleshooting

[follow maggie]

You could call or take it to Northridge 4x4 in Silverdale. I have bought quite a bit from them and they're a great local company and I believe they also work on vehicles.

They install the stuff they sell. They don’t do mechanic work.

i just went thru all of this with my TJ last summer, the bearing in the diff has a pre-load and a rolling torque that needs to be set right because the carrier bearing needs to have the proper torque/tension/load on it otherwise the whole rear end will grenade

i used Better Offroad in Oak Harbor, i think with a full dana 35 rebuild and new ball joints on the rig i was just under 2400$

theyre a great shop btw but i had to wait 3 months for an appointment

Rears and Gears in Port Orchard does good work.  If you want to do do the drive train right along with the axle do a yoke slip elimination and a Tom Woods double Cardan 2 piece drive shaft.

Don't need a slip yoke eliminator on a CJ . It's either got a Dana 20 or possibly  a 300 , both of which use a 1310 ujoint . Slip yoke was used on a 231 case
