That was on a JK and believe those are slightly different. Also, they have made changes over time so older videos may look different.

Some JT gears on this fine Labor Day weekend.
Turns out the outer pinion bearing was on its way out. Just a friendly reminder not to over torque the yoke when installing aftermarket driveshafts. The bearings only call for a 12-19 In Lbs of preload! Any big impact will crush the sleeve

Customer said he installed them two years ago and has noticed “whining” coming from the rear. I’m assuming it was over torqued but you never know. Could have just been a failed bearing.
This was the first hint of an issue though after pulling plugs and cover;

To be honest they originally reminded me of a dumbed down/simplified version of dynatrac ball joints. Or at least how they designed the shank and collar.
Part# 3 and 8 to be specific but I definitely don’t like how all of the weight is on an unsupported bolt and doesn’t use castle nuts.

TTR... Torque to rotate the assembly

It is compared to a JK that is around 20-40 in lbs. Like mentioned that is rotational torque. The pinion nut is still tight at around 190 ft. lbs.
Looks like it got loose.

The ballpoint was still tight in the C and was still seated in the knuckle all with way. She just beat on it hard enough to bend it.

We just finished up this JLU Sport with the Dynatrac EnduroSport 2” Lift with FOX shocks and have to say, it rides pretty dang nice! We also added some 33” tires on some wheels the customer got that look very similar to Rubicon wheels.
This is definitely a kit anyone with some mechanical skills and basic tools can install in their driveway.
Here are some Before and afters…
