Rockjock track bar and 9/16 Mounting hole

[Crepitus]

Swapping to a new axle that came out of a TJ with a Clayton track bar so the bracket has been drilled to accommodate a 9/16 bolt. The Rockjock track bar currently installed utilizes a 1/2 bolt. What is the best way to rectify this? Swap to a 9/16 ball in the Johnny joint on the track bar?

Is the clamping force of the 1/2 bolt sufficient to hold the track bar in place or am I most assuredly introducing death wobble using a 1/2 bolt in a 9/16 hole?

I went through the same exact thing. Clamping force has worked fine with the 1/2 bolt.

What would a smaller bolt hole in the Johnny Joint do?

9/16 > 1/2
