Found out today that when i ordered the parallel 4 lnk from sd.com i got the axle brackets an inch to big and there was a gap about 3/4-1" from the bottom of the axle to the start of the weld on the bottom of the bracket. And the bottom link bar pushed on that bracket and caused it to crack and bend. Throwen the pinion angle outta place. Now the truck is down till i get the shipment of new brackets in the mail. So if anybody that works for suicidedoors.com see's this i need my brackets as quick as possible! Good luck fixen your truck tho!

check the carrier bearing i had a 95 s 10 and it went out so i shortened the drive shaft 1 in and replaced the carrier bearing
but i was driving 45 and the whole truck just started shaking really bad stoped right away and towed it home
i guy in az years back had is s10 burn to the ground and i think it was because the bearing went out and blew through the gas tank

we've figured out that on my truck the carrier bearing needs to be spaced up because when it's air out the 2piece driveline is binding against eachother.

Well I can't say I fixed my problem yet, but I sure got a chance to diagnose. I was right, it was the P.A. but I was wrong about what was causing it to be off. My driver's side lower 4 link bar broke the welds completely through (not off) but through the frame. Well...the welds held, the frame didn't. Here are a couple of pics of it. It will be fixed by Spring Fling...

ive replaced the carrier bearing twice with no luck does anyone else fix there problem? my pinion woulld be at more of a bind when its up than when its lower so i dont think its a binding issue..it didnt start happening till after i replaced the transmission and had a new drive shaft shortend.

mine does the same thing too and it was my driveshaft hitting the bottom of my cab you guys might want to check that out

its the pinion angle!

well maybe the lower you get.. your driveshaft it pushing into the trans too far which can make rubbing and rattling. i cut my drive shaft 5/8 and it went awat.. or just try and adjust your links..

well my drive shaft is not hitting anything i can guaranty that. i have changed my pinion angle from 4, 2,-2, amd -4 and it still does it...oh and the drive shaft pulls out the lower you go...the drive shaft moves no farther than 3 inches in an out...but if i lengthen the drive shafts it will be pushing on the carrier bearing then onece pushes thru that it will pop my rear main in the tranny...so its got be the u joints, the differential, or the tail shaft bearing or out put shaft bearing.. but i can tell you my ranger is a 97 and the tranny is outa a 90 and the drive shaft is outa a 92 lol... all i can say is that it didnt do it with the stock carrier bearing witht the stock tranny and drive shaft..but the drive shaft is shortened a incha nd a half or so...so now you tell me what the problem is? lol
