    I did some frame repair to fix the loose spring bushing. I needed to fix this because my front axle is walking back and forth when I'm driving. Even if I put a new bushing in the frame. It still was loose and the shackle would twist left and right. To fix this, I had to replace the sleeve that went through the frame. It took me most of the day. If I had a 1 1/8" drill bit I could of done it faster. One side down. One more to go.:rofl:

    Great work Scott!! You might have to lengthen your driveshaft too with the longer shackle. Now for some poly bushings.

    Longer shackles? How did you know? :shock: I did get longer ones, only 1/4" longer then what I had before. And I've already modified the driveline years ago when the hole front suspension was lowered 3/4" to lever out the Jeep.;)

    Strange that you would notice that. The new shackles are only 3 3/4" long. :?
