This is the factory front driveshaft at the transfer case...Has anybody had the issue of the grease coming out? I have a new JE Reel DS but am curious what is going on..It is on a 3.5 lift with Rock Krawler control arms

Is this a joke?......

More than a couple threads on the front ds giving up once a lift is added.

Is this thing on?.....

Need a bigger pic


But really that isn't really ready for failure just yet, unless the boot is torn. When you add a lift it can work the grease around and slip through the clamp. It can also tear the boot and then you don't stand much of a chance.

It can be serviced...

Is it just the angle that is doing it so once the new shaft is install no more worries or do I have toadjust control arms different

You'll need to dial the pinion angle in, that new shaft is much less forgiving than the factory CV joint as far as vibes go.

Thanks I will get new shaft installed and check the pinion angle

I had that problem..only running a 3" teraflex on a JKU...I installed a Tom Woods and it actually drives better. no pinion angle problems or caster..its sits perfectly on 35's

Also on stock control arms..

Cool my concern was I just installed Rock Krawler control arms and brought it in to get Alligment but just have notices the grease and it looks real fresh...If it is just an issue with stock DS no big deal but I also don't want to mess up a new aftermarket DS

 

[flyingbrian]

I noticed it after a trail ride, crawling under it looking for damage...

I just went ahead and pulled the trigger..Driving to Jeepbeach in a few months. last thing need is a DS going out at 75 mph...
