Jeep Wrangler Unlimited kit links problem Getting a kit put together and I'm having problems with the links. When all links are installed per the instructions, it clocks the rear axle downward really bad. The front is also clocked down, but not as bad Front links have the 98mm and rears have the 106mm Skid is correctly mounted. 3 link is in front and 4 link is in rear. Mount points on axles and frame rails are in their correct spots Aluminum links are on bottom, plastic links are on top I have even swapped the links to the opposite side (fronts to rear, rears to front) and that didn't do anything helpful What the heck is up with this thing?! I didn't have this problem with my Honcho EDIT UPDATE: Had used the short links on the tree instead of the long links |

Re: Jeep Wrangler Unlimited kit links problem I just don't understand why the kit would have incorrect links |
Re: Jeep Wrangler Unlimited kit links problem Lower links on the 11.4" wheel base using the 91mm pipe and Axial rod ends comes to 115-116mm eye-to-eye, same rod ends with the 98mm pipe should be about 122-123mm eye-to-eye. Two rod ends add about 25mm to eye-to-eye length and add about 33mm to overall length. With both axles being down your upper links are too short or your lower links are too long, with the kit set-up your pinion angle should be about level with the ground when the shocks are installed. Make sure you're using spacer AXA1417 at the axle on the front 3-link and try the longer upper plastic links from parts tree AX80043 in the rear (if you're not already using them). Also triple check the upper and lower link mount locations, upper links bolt to the frame and lower links bolt to the skid. If all that checks out okay then some pictures may help locate the problem if you're able to post them. |
Re: Jeep Wrangler Unlimited kit links problem Oooh, there are longer upper links? I'm going to have to look |
Re: Jeep Wrangler Unlimited kit links problem Yeah, parts tree #AX80043 has two different length links for the upper rear, #2 are the short links (122mm overall) and #3 are a little longer (131mm overall). That's only 7mm difference between them but it's enough to cause pinion angle troubles. |
