Was told my REAR AXEL HAS SHIFTED. HOW CAN I FIX THIS?

Close to 18k. Yes, wheeling in Moab in may and then twice at the dunes. Def had some hard hits. Haven’t been to the dealer yet.

 

Going to do that.

 

Husbo and I put the suspension on and then got it aligned. Nothing back then but I’ve had it wheeling since then.

 

It wasn’t buttoned up at that point

 

Have it all put together. Might be a 1/16th or 1/8th off. Using a tape measure. Pic of the tech.

 

the dealer will probably beg off a direct result of the aftermarket installation

photos show & its a given the axle is tweaked

a very good 4 Wheeler shop located near U with much experience is a bet

Ur hubby with a bud & a good tape measure can determine how much out U are

it took a hard hit

getting it back might take at least spring set 1 side

 

1st pic -see the gap . The leafs were not sitted on the hole.

 

quick ramen break and i take a finished pic

 

yes we disconnected the shock and lowered the axel a lot and jiggled the leaf springs and then reinserted the pins and tightened it all up again.

 

Flintstones? I’m stealing that

 

measure from a point U are sure both sides of frame that are straight & square

measure back to from hanger of spring mount.................same measurement U r 1/2 way there

maesure fromthose points both sides of frame to axle

same = good

not at least U will know how much out ...................

if all good be certain everything is torqued correctly

 

feel free .................

im not a fan of the shopping center chains ................. at best convenient

most localities have a few good shops that Know what they are up to

in skills & experience

 

Careful, that guy did my last alignment

 

The mistake was in not checking under the hood right after leaving the place.

 

Finished for now. More to be revealed.

 

Your diff sticker is on the wrong side

 

on many a new vehicle some are Not straight square

sorry I didnt mention U might have to loosen the good side to square up the tweaked side

im not there so my a to z aint workin as well as it might

a tape measure gets U close......................best place to start

 

“ well, there’s yer problem right there”

 

NEW PROBLEM: significant vibration when in drive and reverse. Much less in neutral. Less when driving. Possibly skid plate touching exhaust?? Stopped in a parking lot right now. Much louder in reverse

 

Have you put a high load on the powertrain while in reverse?
