    Track bar bushings or new track bar?

    Yesterday I had posted a question about things to address while we have our fuel tank out and the track bar bushings came up. Anyhow, I have 3 options, replace the bushings, replace the track bar that has new bushings or replace the bar with a beefier adjustable track bar. My question is, what's...

    Kansas IRO adjustable track bar

    I bought a Iron Rock Off-road double shear adjustable front track bar but went a different route. Never installed (I did put anti-seize on the threads already), I have all the hardware. Let me know if you have any questions.

    Is my pitman arm and track bar too close?

    Ok so I just installed a new track bar and track bar bracket in the Jeep. I have a teraflex high steer setup and a rough country drop pitman arm. I am not trying to get into a debate about having a drop pitman or not or what you think about RE track bars and there brackets or any other brands. I...

    Rear track bar alignment

    I’ve tried adjusting my JKS rear track bar a couple times now because it’s making contact with both my Barnes 8.8 truss and the fuel tank skid. When I initially installed it I even notched the fuel tank skid to help. Only it didn’t really help. What’s causing this issue and how do I correct it?

    Help with the track bar on my TJ

    Hello all, new to the group but I've used it as a resource a lot the last several months. I bought an 04 LJ a few months ago and have been slowly replacing things that are worn out. When I test drove it everything was pretty loose and my steering wheel had a lot of play. I planned to replace the...

    Upper Track Bar Hole Too Big

    So I've got to replace my bent trackbar. I ordered a JKS OGS125 Adjustable Track Bar. Problem is I forgot I had to drill out the frame side upper track bar hole to 5/8 for the bent track bar and the new one has a 9/16 bolt. Is there some kind of bracket I can get to adapt this? I've seen...

    Pitman arm angle with wheels straight

    Is this pitman arm angle correct? My thought is that it should be parallel with the body of the Jeep but I have no idea really. I’m trying to track down the cause of my steering stabilizer rubbing against my track bar. Not sure if this is related at all. Please let me know of any issues you...

    Track bar tie rod end missing washers

    Long story short; Took the TJ to the shop for an alignment (I know, I know. I could do it myself. But I was in a crunch). ANYWAY, they said they couldn’t do it for 2 reasons. 1) “Track bar is loose” - their explanation was there was play in the tie rod end of the track bar (the driver side...

    Rancho track bar doesn't quite fit

    So I'm a new Jeep owner and I'm getting my feet wet in mods. I have a 2004 LJ sport. The previous owner put a 2" spring and shock lift on and I'd begun to feel some wobble around 50 mph. From the research I had done I believed it was the track bar and went ahead and bought a Rancho 2-6"...

    I Need Help Identifying Front Steering Components From Previous Owner

    Please help! Hi everyone! I just bought the Jeep about 2 and a half weeks ago, after thinking about one for years. I absolutely love it, it only has 73k miles, no body rust, and an unreal solid frame for the north east (which I just POR15'd after lots of thread reading!)... However, it needs...

    Which track bar do I need for my LJ?

    Hello, I'm relatively new to the forum and this is my first post asking a question, so please be gentle. BLUF: Which track bar do I need in order to replace the one I have? I've already ordered the wrong one (with ball joint, doesn't work for my setup, rookie mistake). I'll be returning that...

    Track bar hitting Savvy gas tank skid

    I recently installed a Savvy gas tank skid and being a lazy ass didn't cycle my suspension afterwards. Driving around last weekend I went over a big bump and heard a terrible thud. This morning I pulled the springs and jacked up the rear and found the interference. The middle-ish part of the...

    Front coils rubbing and trackbar hitting diff

    05 LJ, multi part issue here: 1. Front coils seem to rub on the lower perches, as well as the the other spot circled in red on the passenger side. Are these factory spring seats? The swaybar links look weird and extended compared to other TJs I've seen. 2. Track bar appears to be hitting the...

    What should I change next to make my TJ drive better?

    I have a 5 inch lift on my 98 Jeep Wrangler tj. I have recently started to improve my lift so it would drive better. I started with the front lowers control arms. I figured it was time for something else to be added. What should I change next? Rear upper control arms or the front track bar is...

    Is this track bar relocation mount okay?

    So as I was reading through some topics trackbar relocation brackets seem to be a hot issue among some. I was looking at mine because I knew it had one and I just wondered if there was anything wrong with having it as it moves the track bar further forward to clear the diff better as far as I...

    Help Identifying Pitman Arm and Track Bar

    A few questions. I am fairly positive that my Jeep has a dropped pitman arm. What I am trying to figure out is if the track bar the PO installed requires the dropped pitman arm. The lift is a 5” lift and from reading other threads I can still run a stock pitman. Is 5.5” the max for a stock...

    JKS Trackbar 126 vs 128

    Planning on upgrading to the JKS trackbar however I'm having trouble determining the difference between the OGS126 and OGS128? All I can find is that: 1) 126 uses the tapered cone and 9/16 bolt, while the 128 uses 5/8 bolt 2) 126 is for 1"-3.5" while 128 is for 2.5+ lift Am I missing anything...

    Ball joint kit recommendation

    Hey there, went for an alignment today and was told I needed new ball joints and tie rod ends. Quoted $1,200 figured I'd do it myself. I found this kit at 1A Auto which had basically everything and more for $160, and even found a guy near me selling a similar kit for $100 still in the box. I...
