Here are some more information for Diesel Rear Block:

When lifting a Jeep Cherokee, the pinion angle changes relative to the transfer case. The alignment must be within the limits of the universal joints to prevent driveline vibrations.

One method of adjusting the pinion angle is to use angled shims. These shims are placed between the spring and the spring perch to rotate the pinion to match the drive shaft.

When a Jeep is lifted three inches or more, the drive shaft angle exceeds the recommended limits for the universal joints. A common method to correct the alignment while retaining the stock drive shaft is to drop the transfer case one inch and use two degree shims or use angled lift blocks like the Rough Country Lift kit includes.

In order to eliminate the misalignment, a Slip Yoke Eliminator kit is often used on the rear of the transfer case. Several versions are available for the NP231 that replace the output shaft with a stronger, shorter shaft giving multiple advantages for one simple modification.

With a Slip Yoke Eliminator kit installed, the standard drive shaft is replaced with a double cardon type like the one used in the front of the Cherokee. In fact, if you have an automatic transmission, a stock front shaft can be used in the rear with a SYE conversion.

The double cardon type shaft however uses a very different alignment from the standard shaft. Quite a bit of axle rotation is needed to align the pinion.

In the standard configuration, the pinion and the transfer case are aligned to be parallel to each other. The idea is to have the same operating angle for both universal joints on the drive shaft.

The double cardon shaft uses a special joint with two universal joints at one end and a singe joint at the other end. The correct alignment is to have the drive shaft parallel to the pinion and the entire angle is made up in the two joints on the opposite end.

For a three inch lift, I found about 8 degrees of shim was needed. This Jeep was fitted with two degree blocks so adding six degrees of angle to the spring pack brought it into alignment.

To calculate the shims needed, you will have to use trigonometry. However it is not too bad using this simple method.

With the transfer case and axle in place, I mounted the drive shaft. The misalignment was immediately evident. I placed a straight edge along the bottom of the pinion and parallel to the pinion shaft. I then measured the distance from the drive shaft center to the top of the straight edge. In my case, I measured to a point 30 inches up the shaft and found it need to be raised three inches to make it line up.

Now divide the distance it is off by the distance up the shaft. In my case it was 3 divided by 30 or 0.1.

To convert this number to the angle, you need to take the arctangent of the number. This is easily done on a scientific calculator or even easier to do using Google. In my case I typed arctan(3/30) in degrees into the Google search line. Google returns this result: arctan(3 / 30) = 5.71059314 degrees. Round it to the nearest degree and try that shim. In my case a six degree shim was really close and worked fine.

To install the shim, you have two options. If you get a steel shim, you can weld it to the spring perch making it a permanent part of the axle. I chose to add it to the spring pack so that it can be easily changed if I want to add longer shackles or different lift blocks.

To install the shim in the spring pack, you will have to disassemble the spring pack. It is generally a good idea to replace the center pin and the shim kit came with new center pins. So you can just cut off the nuts from the center pins. They are often impossible to unbolt due to dirt and corrosion.

Begin by removing the U bolts that hold the axle to the spring. Separate the spring from the perch. Next, use two large C clamps to hold the spring pack together while you remove the center bolt.

Place the new bolt through the shim and then pass the bolt through the spring pack. Tighten the nut. Be sure the fat end of the shim is to the rear to rotate the pinion up for the Cherokee. Align the pin with the block or spring perch and press it back together with a floor jack under the axle. Cut off the excess bolt length on the center pin.

Reinstall the U bolts and tighten them to the proper torque. Give it a good whack with a hammer to make sure every thing seated right and recheck the torque. It is good to recheck the U bolts after the first run as they sometimes move around on the axle tube and loosen up.

Verify the alignment visually or with a straight edge. If it looks right, congratulations! Put the wheels back on and give it a test drive.

Hyundai SonataTransform

Sonata Transform is a mid-sized luxury sedan launched by Hyundai Motors India Limited in late 2005. Being the fifth generation Sonata, it comes across as the perfect blend of elegance and athleticism. The bigger and stylish version of the earlier luxury sedan, SonataTransform comes equipped with a powerful engine, new body styling, plush interiors, and advanced safety features. The car boasts of excellent pick-up and performance. The cutting-edge style of Embera has already impressed the luxury car buyers in India.

The aluminum VTVT (Variable Timing Valve Train) engine of Hyundai Sonata Embera churns out a power of 165 PS @ 5800 rpm and maximum torque of 23.6 kgm @ 4250 rpm. The lightweight and newly designed engine block of the vehicle ensures higher fuel efficiency. Its high-power engine also ensures fast response and acceleration.

Dynamic suspension and an excellent rear-seat ride quality, one of Sonata's key appealing features, continue to dominate the Sonata's redesign. Hyundai Motor says that the Embera offers much higher fuel efficiency because of its light weight and aluminium engine block. With its contemporary international styling, refined driving dynamics and 170-mm ground clearance, it is time to take a second good look at the Sonata Embera.

In India the Sonata comes in three variants -- 2.4MT and 2.4AT in petrol and 2.0L CRDi MT in diesel. Under the hood, the Embera sports a high-power 2.4 litre, four-cylinder petrol engine, which forks out a powerful 163 bhp @ 5,800 rpm and a maximum torque of 23.6 kgm @ 4,250 rpm. Mated to a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed H-matic automatic, the new aluminium engine features Variable Timing Valve Train (VTVT). Hyundai boasts that the Embera delivers plenty of low-end torque, quick response, excellent pick-up and great performance

The four-speed H-matic transmission, when set on tiptronic mode, allows some manual input for maximum driving pleasure. Hyundai mentions that the light-weight aluminium engine block improves fuel efficiency levels, which even out at 6-7/9-10 kmpl (city/highway). The all-new 2L CRDi engine pumps out 140 bhp at 4,000 rpm and 33 kgm of torque between 2,000 to 2,680 rpm. The diesel variant gets a 6-speed manual transmission as standard. The Embera features independent double wishbone with coil springs in the front and an independent multi-link type with coil springs in the rear. The sedan exhibits excellent driving manners at all speeds, and the suspension does not allow evident body rolls during hard cornering.

The hood, featuring a prominent V-shaped ridge, meets the chrome-lipped signature grille. Wrap-around tail lamps (resembling those of the Honda Accord's) and sporty twin exhaust notes bring up the rear, balancing the front visage and emphasising the car's new international styling. Flared wheel arches feature 16-inch alloy wheels, and tubeless tyres give the Embera a sturdy, well-heeled profile. The new version is also a bit wider and taller than the Honda Accord.

The Embera's profile is distinguished, classy and contemporary, with styling taking on soft, sensuous lines that hint at the car's luxury and refinement. Wrap-around clear-lens headlamps enclose jeweled projector lights with silver bezels; the bumper incorporates trapezoidal fog lamps and chrome-embellished strips.

The interior is well-accommodated, and build quality is immaculate; the cabin features a two-tone fascia in beige and black. Standard features include air-conditioning, AM/FM radio, an in-dash music system and 6-CD changer, tilt and telescopic steering, cloth or leather upholstery and faux wood trim on the dash. Storage abounds with cup holders, ashtrays and map holders.

So far the car has done really well in Indian market, but to how far the car maintains its success is yet to be seen.

i have a 2003 f250 4wd diesel i already have a lift for it....?

the lift i have is 6" front leaf springs with a 5.5" rear block in the back but i need longer shocks....what size do i need ? & also what steering components do i need to get ? the site im looking at right now is topguncustomz.com

thanks !

I have a 2004 F350 with a 6" super-lift and all these parts came in the kit so that I didn't have to guess or shop around. It cost just over $1,400.00 to do everything including an alignment. I have had it for three years now with lots of off road travel and the only maintenance was to tighten the pittman arm last year.
See the link below for the picture of everything in the kit.
