Well still no pics yet.. going to get a lawer soon and start court action..lol
Well I cleaned up ole Hollows eve (2 friggin hours at the car wash) .lol
And took her down to my local tire man for a tire balance and rotation. Both of my front rims now have an 1/8 (.125) inch whobble just a bit of egg shaped here / still with in specs and had them add a few tons of lead to get them to run true at speed.
A quick trip to my friends Auto shop and 30$'s later I had my front end alighned again and Hollows eve was a happy little Jeep again. (I love it when she does the 35' / 55 MPH purr)
I did find that my Tera-Flex slip yoke eleiminator seal is a special order part and had one placed (9.00$) on order to store in my jeepin box. But my rear out-put leak (only at 50 degrees+ angle) was not my rear seal... but most SYE kits dont run a O-Ring on the spline out-put shaft and under high angle accents you can drip a bit of ATF fluid from the yoke section. The Boys at Tera-Flex did me a number after I spent an hour down there telling them of my Moab trip.
They lifted Hollows eve up on the lift and marked up my rear drive line with yellow paint markers and removed the drive line. Marking the rear yoke and the spline for correct alignment and loosened the yoke nut and removed it. With a clean rag they cleaned the spline and put a small dab of Silicone sealant onto the shaft and inner splines on the yoke ( very small amount onto both) and put everything back together.
This is the cure I was told on all SYE's if you ever get a bit of fluid comming out of your yoke at steep inclines.
A few tisks that I wasnt advertizing Tera-flex on my Jeep and a hand full of stickers with dire threats if I didnt put them on, I was shooed out the door...no charge. Gowd I love this company
