  2. Random vibrations after 2" Lift and 315/70r17s

    I would take a good look at your outer joint on the passenger axle. Ours came without circlip installed. I believe that may have caused our issue. Without the circlip it's very possible the outer axle slipped out of joint when dropping the control arm for install spacer. There is plenty of...
  3. Big Bend CV Axle Problem or Rough Country 2" spacer lift &, or 35" tires - Who's to blame?

    It is certainly possible, especially since circlip not installed. I just wish I had tried 4x4 prior to pucks. You bring up a good point, I need to go check to make sure the new axle is seated.
  4. Big Bend CV Axle Problem or Rough Country 2" spacer lift &, or 35" tires - Who's to blame?

    I thought in your case it turned out to be your outer joint and shaft not seated? What you picture is focused on is the inner joint shaft splines. Look at my shaft spline then look at my joint splines. Joint splines are perfect and zero indication of wear. Maybe I misread your post but was...

    Your right about badlands and I'm wrong about which model she has. I will change my title. Its a Big Bend
  7. Big Bend CV Axle Problem or Rough Country 2" spacer lift &, or 35" tires - Who's to blame?

    Yes, I marked the alignment bolts/nuts and dropped them. Got it close and sent for alignment. Made install much easier.
  8. Big Bend CV Axle Problem or Rough Country 2" spacer lift &, or 35" tires - Who's to blame?

    I don't mind hearing it and I don't even mind paying for it. The point I'm making is that a 2" RC spacer lift should not cause any issues. PERIOD! Especially on my wife's truck that will never see a dirt road. The point of the post is to draw attention to an issue that many are having and...
  9. Big Bend CV Axle Problem or Rough Country 2" spacer lift &, or 35" tires - Who's to blame?

    This is the full story to our situation: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/another-broken-axle-cv-joint.33811/ Short version: 2000+- miles with lift and tires. Not a single issue, except a ticking noise from the engine since new. (dealer says they all do and nothing wrong) The first...
  10. Front Differential Issue - Fluid leaking

    It may be limited to the CV axle. The color of your liquid is same/similar as the grease used on the inside CV joint. The outside, which is where our issue was has dark grey grease. There are many reports beginning to surface regarding CV Axle to seated inside the joint. That was the case...
  11. Rattling noise with initial take off

    Could it be your CV axle is floating an not in the outer joint, as was the case with ours and many others. Does the noise change when you put it in 4x4? Do the front tires spin when in 4x4?
  12. Big Bend CV Axle Problem or Rough Country 2" spacer lift &, or 35" tires - Who's to blame?

    I posted the full story in "another broken axle / CV joint" https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/another-broken-axle-cv-joint.33811/ My wife picked up her bronco yesterday, parked at dealer service for a month. The dealer denied claim and cited "vehicle has been lifted and fitted with...
  13. No 4x4 from the factory

    I was about to tell you the same possibility. We just got ours back from the dealer yesterday 1/31 and this is what it looks like. No c Clip from the factory and axle never seated into the joint. Didn't show up until I tried 4WD on our gravel parking pad. Front wheels never engaged. The...
  14. Driver Side Front Axel leaking grease and grinding

    Yes, that is what happed to us. They Local dealer denied claim because of 35" tires and the 2" spacer lift from Rough Country. I'm going to do a post on what I found. In the meantime this is what it looks like.
  15. Leaking Front Axle?!!

    My wife got hers back and this is what was hiding inside the boot. Axle was never seated inside the outer joint. Ours did not have circlip installed and didn't give a clue until the first time I attempted 4x4 on gravel parking pad. Dealership declined the warranty and blamed it on 35" tires...
  16. Axle Failure - entire axle being replaced under warranty

    My wife got hers back and this is what was hiding inside the boot. Axle was never seated inside the outer joint. Ours did not have circlip installed and didn't give a clue until the first time I attempted 4x4 on gravel parking pad. Dealership declined the warranty and blamed it on 35" tires...
  17. Another Broken Axle / CV Joint

    Thank you! YOU ARE 100% CORRECT, and all the automotive engineers agree. I don't know why this is so confusing for some. A 2" spacer is a perfectly good/cheap alternative for someone after a specific look. Whether they leave to pavement or not.
  18. Another Broken Axle / CV Joint

    The part link you provide appears to be for an AWD Bronco Sport. Which brings up a good point. What a crazy/confusing naming convention for the Bronco. It's the most confusing of any series of all time. What is the correct term for new Bronco? Dealerships say "you mean The "Big" Bronco"...
  19. Another Broken Axle / CV Joint

    This is an H2/Duramax/Allision conversion. (not that it matters, I'm just proud of the beast. I know, it's too heavy and bulky for trails) with Rancho 4" true suspension lift. The spacers marked in red are necessary to maintain angles, With Spacer on top of coil, you are sitting on top of...
  20. Another Broken Axle / CV Joint

    As all of you know, there are many ways to make a vehicle taller. Bigger Tires, Body Lift, Coil-over spacer, the deluxe, most expensive is to drop the driveline. This method changes the CV angle and needs correction. For all but the driveline drop, CV and steering link angles will be exactly...
