Driveline Noise after Lift - Disscussion

That user name could not be found?

when you raise the rear suspension you are actually pushing the axle to one side. there is a bar that links the axle to the frame. i do not know by how much. but the added angle to the driveshaft from the lift and the angle do to the axle being pushed over could be the cause. does anyone know what the max angle is for the driveshaft? shawn

Hmm... Good point (about the axle shift).

This doesn't appear to be something that has been addressed with the 912 lift before.
An adjustable track bar would fix this problem easily.

Now, is the noise atributable to the laterally shifted axle?

I notice more of an axle shift (wheel/tire on passenger side sticks out more) when I only had the 1" polyspacer, know with the 912's, it seems better center. I think so becuase at the original ride height, I think the bar is angled up, the 1 inch lift made it level, thus shifting it more, now with 912 its angled down the same amount it was angled up originally.......I think.......... I need to look into this more. The thing is, the drive shaft angle (up - down) doesnt seem that severe at all with the lift.
