Extreme death wobble

Not only that but the other size with the axel is seized...the bolt won’t break and I’m starting to round the head ...
I’m wondering if I should leave it as is as I have to work tomorrow and if I cut the bolt on the axel side and can’t extract the rest of the bolt I’m fucked
PB Blaster is good. It's what I use to loosen my Tampons
Man o man .... there’s no way I can use a ratchet at the axel I have to use a grinder and saw ....I can’t believe this tbh lol every single time I fix something on my Jeep this is what happens
I've had that bolt so bad I had to pry between the bushing and each side of the bracket, cut the bolt on each side to slide out the end of the tracbar. Remove the flagnut from the back of the bracket and then install a new bolt and flagnut. Not fun, but it was necessary....
That’s what I just did but I can’t get the flag nut out so I’m shoving it to the side and just going to buy a new one ....
Is it possible to use one of these bolts for the axel side just to drive to the store to buy a nut the right size?
Without being able to tighten the bushing end properly you are asking for trouble...
The tracbar keeps the differential centered under the body and when you turn the steering wheel the body will move a little side to side depending upon how much play there is in the bushing end.....
SO.... I wouldn't suggest it...

I meant to write bolt but that long one actually does the trick and I have a nut to fasten it too from back ....I gave up —everything is installed but the axel side ....I’m thinking this side should have been installed first no? Because I can’t for the life of me get that hole flush with track bar ?

Just move the steering wheel , with no track bar attached the axle is free to move .
Won’t that throw the alignment off or this only applies for adjustable tracbars?
Also. has Anyone ever used a bunch of washers at the back where the flagnut goes with a nut using a wrench or ratchet ? I can’t seem to find a new flagnut so I think I’m just gnna get a bunch of washers and a nut and hold it in place and tighten from the head ?
also. Lol. What’s the size of bolt for that tracbar/nut?

The alignment is off now that's why the bolt hole doesn't line up... You will force the axle back to center when you get the holes lined up.
The frame size bolt is a 10 mm x 1.25 coarse I think ... But I'm not sure on the pitch... Take the flag net with you that came off of it and you'll be fine.
Well no....while removing the old tracbar while I was prying the hell out of it I bent the mount a bit lol so I was trying to bend it back into place but after installing the balljoint side it won’t line up....I guess I need to remove the balljoint side and start from the axel because you can move the balljoint around
