hey i just bought a 89 bronco2 and it was missing the front drive shaft so i bought one and it hits the tranny x member at the u joint. i have a 6 " lift but i dont think thats making it hit it has bad motor mounts could that be causing the t-case to lean and make it hit?:icon_confused:

i have a 6" suspension and 3" body but it seems like its not the angle issue because when i put it into the yoke and hold it level and spin it still hits i dont know if its the motor mounts or the tranny mount but when i get on it in first gear the stick moves like 6" to the right

Wow, I think I would be checking your drivers side engine mount first, and prob wouldn,t hurt to check your trans one as well.
