To anyone who may be following my motor saga,
I have had my jeep back for a couple of weeks after a new junkyard engine and $2500 (still working out issues such as a leaky/ bubbley cooling system and a check engine light (changed rear passengr side O2 bsensor yesterday)and some other minor stuff). While checking engine install i noticed the passenger side CV boot was torn AGAIN as well as lower ball joint boot being torn. I have not fixed them yet, the other night I heard/felt a binding in drivers side, today while doing about 30 mph down my street on way to work the clicking came on big time and truck shuddered like it was going to fall apart. I pulled over and jascked up each side and when I rotate the wheel I get a bad binding with each rotatation. The truck seems undrivable now and I am afraid to make worse by driving. I am guessing now that I am gonna need two front CV axel shafts as well. Hopfully its not something in the differntial.
I am at my witts end as well as my wallets. Will get towed tomorrow.
Any thoughts? Any way of partially lowering the front of a Frankenlift. I am thinking of taking it out alltogether but not sure if I saved everything.
HELP

Ahhh yes, the front drive shaft is a hard one to figure out...glad it wasn't your diff. If you an wait I may have a front shaft available later this month. I will give it to you if you pay shipping. Just take it out for now and don't go wheeling.

Sorry to hear about it. :-(

In the mean time, I think you can just pull the front halfshafts and I know you can pull the front driveshaft and just drive it in 2wd. At least it'll be usable then.
