First you have to find an EXPERT ALIGNMENT man with his head :rock: OUT of his factory Specs. ass. I went MAX with mine and had to align it my self.

What's the problem with your rear shaft ?

Got mine at LMC Trucks 5-6 years ago and it still works great. It is the type that U-bolts on the linkage but , have been satisfied since install.

I had a similar problem when I put all new pads and calipers on. It took a lot of extra bleeding on the front to get it right.Has been great for 3yrs. now, forward and reverse.

Thanks for the "turn the axle" reminder, wah lah ! , slipped right in. After further close inspection I found the dreaded rotten vacuum hose by the brake booster and the short tube from the same little filter looking "T" that the rotten one hooks to was very loose.

Do u mean the screw in switch with the ball on the bottom that the vacuum lines hook to? If so that seems high.

Well, at this time, I found two vacuum leaks at the famous T fitting by the brake booster and replaced 12 " of 5/32 tubing. That's all folks, I'm back in push button 4WD again. Who knows about the future. I will change the transfer case switch since I spent $44 on it.

I climbed under my '02 ZR5 this morning to change the Transfer Switch and thought I'd check my shift cable first to make sure it was not froze up or broke and it is good. need to know if I should be able to manually pull the shift fork in and out with or without the cable.

Just an update on my situation.

The 15mm nut was very tight and there was no percep...

I saw these wheels on a zr2... so they should fit.

Horsehammerr

What's the dimensions of them? If they are 5x4.5, I'm sure they'll fit. 15x8 with 5 inch backspacing is what I run and they work fine. As for the center hole, well, stock wheels don't have a big center hole. As long as it'll fit over the center of the axle shaft on the back, I'd think it would fit ...

Need to look into making SKIDZ Flare Cuts or your going to tear up your tires and/or fenders. Might check out adapter spacers to move your wheels out enough to clear the frame rub and match the width of the front to the rear. you know the front span is 2.5" wider than the rear ?

A ball joint flip is when you mount your upper ball joints under the control arm instead of on top. helps with getting caster/camber closer to where it needs to be.

The bracket does not give you any lift at all, it simply lowers the differential so that the axles dont bind as badly. Its been available for quite some time, at least a year or 2.

The operations list that green02crew gave listed DTC so, I'd say it does at least erase codes. We'll see.
