I don't think anyone here knows what you're on about. Can you describe what it is you're calling a torque shaft?

The one on my TJ rattles quit a lot, but works fine.

I too would be interested in knowing if there is a replacement “Bronze Bushing Retainer” as it seems to be that end which rattles.

Have a look at this mod posted on here a while back:

Quote from: "Steve B"
Today I fitted the transfer case linkage relocator.

It set up quite easily and is now completely mounted to the gearbox and has a real positive feel rather than the vague is it or isn't it in feel.

I also cut a space to allow for the front driveshaft droop as it was rather close.

Upon refitting the skid today one on the stainless 1/2  13 tpi  bolts stripped itself!!!!  cheap bolt from ebay. I had a sort through my spares and found the old torx bolts from my front bumper which were perfect. I only have 4 though and need 6.  If anyone has 2 of these which they no longer use I would be grateful if I could buy them.  thanks.  Steve

I managed to screw mine up - when crossmember went and front prop chewed it all out. :-D )

Then it is just a case of crawling under it and pushing them back in - and bending the bracket back :lol: .

Check your engine and gearbox mountings are ok.
