I have an 06 STX. Me and my wife installed a 6" fabtech lift. We took it four wheeling and after the first rough spot the driveshaft is rubbing the sway bar on the front. It looks like the entire front diff housing has been shifted. The bottom of it has shifted towards the front of the vehicle pulling the yoke (where it connects to the driveshaft) down. It doesnt look like any of the brackets are bent. I cannot figure this out. I tried loosening all three of the diff housing connecting bolts and tried jacking up on the yoke to rotate it with no luck. Anyone have any ideas. The picture is of the top driverside mount. Thanks

 

did you re phase your front dl 90*?

 

what kit are you using?...i know Josiah on here had an issue like that with his fabtech...I haven't had that problem yet.

 

Not to be dumb but what do you mean?

What did he do to fix it?

 

I think he's asking if you re-clocked the front driveshaft.

 

in the instructions..it should have had you take off your front driveline..the yolks are or should be in-line...they ask you to slide off the slip yoke, locate the 'double or key' spline and grind it down. then return your slip yolk, 90 degrees or perpindicular to the fixed end..it should be re-balanced by a driveline shop or just have them do all of the driveline work..this allows a bit more angle and keeps the driveline from binding when the suspension articulates..if you did not do this step..it might be your d-line binding and tweeking your diff..

 

you know i honestly cant remember if we did that step. Im going to take it apart and look at it tomorrow when it stops raining. How would that be affecting the angle and position of the differential. That seems like it is just rotating the drive shaft 90 degrees???

 

check the sway bar mount bracket. Try swapping them to opposite sides. Or flipping them around. The Fabtech instructions aren't the best on this part.

good luck let us know if it fixes it or not.
