Lift front diff issue

Hey. Got a leveling kit and small lift about two years ago. 5k miles after, left front end started making a rotational vibration between 15-50mph. I can feel a vibration on the gas pedal.

dealer said it was front diff and replaced it.

issue is back and they’re saying since I messed with the geometry and angles but nothing bigger was put on than 2 inches.

heard it could also be needle bearing.

I’m stuck because the person who said they did the lift everything is fine, dealers saying it’s not. Before I just take the lift off any recommendations?

 

Yes, try the ECGS Bushing.
It was made for this exact problem you are describing.

Here is a list from most to least reliable.

2. Google Fu
3. Magic 8-Ball
4. That homeless guy behind Walmart
5. The clowns at the dealership

like many of us that have experienced this,
The ECGS bushing is likely your answer. There are a lot of members with the special removal tool that is needed when purchasing the bushing, it’s a straight forward repair. Check in your regional thread for someone that can help with the repair, or loan you the tool to save you some money. Welcome to TW!

 

ECG bushing IMO

 

If you have a leveling kit then you should have diff drop spacers if not then the factory ECGS bushing will fail in matter of time

 

Reread what you typed.....

 

If it goes away in 4wd it’s the needle bearing
