Title: drive shaft hitting exhaust ??? no one can figure out??
Post by: skeeter08 on September 09, 2006, 05:23:33 PM

my front drive shaft is hitting the exhaust pipe that comes down and around the oil pan.... i went to modern motors and they hadnt seen this before, but they suggested pinching the exhaust so that it would stop hitting.... has anyone had this problem or does anyone know anything?

Broken motor or tranny mount forcing things askew will do it.

Did you have an alignment after the lift?  I was getting that problem after I add a little more lift ot my YJ, but I think the reason was because I did not have a trackbar bracket to account for the extra lift.
