upper rear links hitting drive shaft.

[twisted]

or i should say the drive shaft on suspension compression is hitting the upper rear links. anyone else having this issue? im running blue monkey uppers.

Sounds like you just need to adjust the rod ends to change the angle of the links, if that makes sense.

Do you have the bend closer to the rear or the front?

front

Maybe try moving the bends to the back? I would just check on my yeti but it has a centered axle so not much help there.

If you put aftermarket lower links on also, then the lower links are probably not the right length (too short) so the pumpkin is rotating aft with suspension input causing the driveshaft to point up too high. Either your lower links are too short or maybe your upper links are too long. If they have threaded rod ends so that you can adjust the length, that's your solution. Try to match stock length for upper and lower links.

The Yeti is trailing arms they should all be the same if they based them off the stock parts.

as far as i know these are direct replacements for the stock units. iam running bluemonkey upper titanium links with ucfab lowers.

I had the same issue at first with the same parts- UCFab arms and BMRC uppers. Carter fab retainer rings didnt help either... Anyway, reverse the upper links so the kink is toward the rear. Also, tighten down those rod ends as much as possible. I can use the lowest front mounting hole with plenty of driveshaft clearance.

heres some pics of the problem.





ill try what DeviledEggs suggested.

One other thing, I just noticed my rear link mounts are flipped opposite of yours.

I literally just installed new ones today (hence no dirt). I also have the same polished driveshaft. Those grub screws made an awful racket at first but they smoothed out. :lmao:
