6112”s—-

I got my 6112’s in and set the clips on the 4th setting, which is supposed to be 2.15”. I just got it aligned, but I still have a roaring sound that I thought was caused by needing an alignment.

Could that maybe be the axle bushing in the front dif?

I was under the impression that I wouldn’t need to replace that unless I lifted it 3” or more.

Can someone educate me?

 

If it is the needle bearing (the axle bearing as you said) then it will go away in 4wd. To test this, drive in a straight line when you feel the vibes/hear the noise. Put it in 4HI and if it goes away, it is your needle bearing. ECGS (East Coast Gear Supply) makes a bushing that replaces the needle bearing and fixes the issue.

With that being said, it's not really a roaring sound, so I'm not so sure that's your issue.

 

Ok thanks. I’ll test that.
I guess it’s more on the humming side of a roar.

 

yup, its gonna be the front diff drive side needle bearing.

Id bet it goes away in 4hi. I replaced mine cus of the vibe, and im only at 1.75in of lift.
