Default Lift kit whining noise
Hi All
I have a 2001 wj and just put an OME 2" lift springs n shocks. Great ride but now has a whining noise from the front at around 80ks ?
Any ideas would be great

Thanks

could be front pinion angle. If so PM me I have some fixed extended lower control arms you can have which are perfect for 2 inch lift + more flex.

Hey Snowg - correct me if I'm wrong but longer lower control arms will actually make the pinion angle worse. You'd need adjustable upper control arms to bring the pinion angle back to something better than what it is due to the lift height.

Welcome to the world of pain in lifting a WJ - but at least you have a heap of people on here who can help you due to their own experiences. Normally a 2" lift doesn't cause too much hassle so I hope you get it sorted easily. Is it 2" in real life, or possibly more. I.e, did you measure before and after. It may well be 3".
