Hi all,

Forward Shaft, aft of u-joints (New front shaft w/ grease fittings) output shaft flange ( out of transfer case has up and down movement. The movement is not in rotation but in vertical/side to side. Found while greasing joints and looking for cause of vibration at acceleration and hwy speeds.

out put flange is not wet rather it is dry and shows to have been dry for some time. My guess is this is not normal and may be the cause of the vibration.

Best guess is
Transfer Box Output Flange Kit Rear
Item: STC3433


Any help would be great including a short idea of how to accomplish the repair.

I only ask about the repair as there is always a trick to everything.

Thanks in advance

Chuck

 

Got a message to take a look at the Nut holding the flang to the xfer box. I will let all know what I find.

Fixed: thank you to Dusty1

Problem vibrations at speed, found nut on xransfer box output flange backed out. Removed 4 #5 3/8 inch fine thread nylock nuts, repositioned drive shaft frount, removed m20 nylock nut sourced from ace hardware usa, replaced nut tightened , chased threads on flange bolts (do this now as once driveshaft is on you will have no room and will have to remove drive shaft again) repositioned driveshaft. New nylock nuts tightened . No more vibration

Tools used: 2 9/16 open/ closed wrenchs, 1 breaker bar and ratchet set with 9/16 sockets and extention, 1 1/4 socket or 30mm 1 hammer. 4 jackstands , 1 jack, chocks 1 thread chaser 3/8
Parts: 1 m20 nyloc nut , 4 3/8 fine nylock nut all from ace and grade 5

 

nice. good to hear. sometimes those pesky vibrations can be hard to pinpoint.

 

It's actually good to know that someone was finally able to get rid off vibrations. I'm still working on mine.

 

I sent you a PM, telling you that the nut was loose, based on my experience twice before; you told me that you would let me know what you found, yet you did not; you didn't thank me either but managed to thank Dusty, why?-------LOL Have a nice day, though.

 

Everyone,

I made a mistake in not thanking Early Rover, It is without a doubt that he was the one that really fixed the issue with myself only being the one who got dirty. I thought I was following up with him thinking Dusty1 sent the Note on the Nut being loose, believe me that was the problem and Early Rover pinpointed it for me, Dusty1 I am no way not thanking you, you helped with the direction on DIY.


I hope no harm no foul.

Thanks in advance,

Chuck

 

Oh, and thanks again for the flowers and chocolate also, you shouldn't have.

 

My front output shaft also has a bit of play in it... no vibrations yet though. Where is this nut???
