I had vibrations at 50mph on the way home. In the JL the front drive shaft doesn't turn, so at home I put it in 4lo while turning. The driver said was making all kinds of noise. I pulled it and sent it out to RCV today. The bells are to big to pull through the knuckle. I have dynatrac balljoints, but the upper joint is long and makes pulling the knuckle off with an rcv an absolute pain. Will not be an issue to get it fixed or replaced.

The more I read about RCVs the less likely I am to buy them. Seem to have a lot of issues vs a branik or ctm joint

This is the first issue I have had with a set. I had them in an sd 05+ before they were an off the shelf axle shaft, in my tj 44 with stickies, sxs, and now jl. I'll find out from them what exactly the failure is.
The amount of maintenance a ctm or branik u joint needs is a lot. From my understanding, bronze bushing cannot be replaced on a branik u joint but a ctm can be rebuilt. They need to be greased after every weekend of riding or you can score the bushings in them. Im going to use them over rcv becuase of the degrees of steering I want. Nothing else in the new rig.
This was on the rear of gomez new car
