I have a 5″ lift on my xj. I ordered a Rough Country Adjustable Track Bar
and it came with the drop down bracket with what you called the “Johny
Joint end” as apposed to the Tie Rod end. The end on the new track bar that
attaches to the Drop Down Bracket does not have a Greece boot on it how the
stock track bar Tie Rod end does. Is this Okay?
How do you like rusty’s track bar? Any problems with it off roading? Thanx
Fun watching this… we have a Jeep TJ, but some of your videos have been
helpful because there isn’t a lot of difference… just curious – what’s
with the motorcycle helmet???
Thanks for what you do!
Great vid mate!
nope, after I measured it was only 1/4″ so no big deal.
I’m working on a pickle fork symphony
ya, pretty much
In your opinion wouldn’t it be possible to drop the bracket and keep the
stock track bar?
Thanks this video was very helpful. I had a lot more difficulty than your
demo because I started with the wrong type of pickle fork. I borrowed a
pitman arm pickle fork (it’s bigger than a ball joint one) from Autozone
and 3-4 whacks with a 4 lb hammer got it to release. The axle end required
me to soak the joint with PB Blaster overnight, hit it with my small impact
wrench, then with about 30″ of breaker bar I undid the bolt. Buy a
replacement bolt at the dealer. Torqued to 45′-lb, upper to 59
sure, you could do that too. just move over an inch to the right and
re-drill, that should help get your trackbar back to normal anyhow.
do you need to do a drop pitman arm too?
I covered this a bit on my video about death wobble. you have two options,
either drill it out and make a bigger hole or weld a plate over the top of
it.
who makes that track bar? it appears to be a double shear and of some good
beefiness. im doing a small 3″ life on my Cherokee hopefully soon and im
trying to find a nice beefy track bar to replace stock.
that was a rustys
lol your neighbor must mow his lawn 5 days a week.
If you’ll send me some I’ll absolutely do a video on them
I beleive its a 10mm, or you could drill it out and use a grade 8 1/2″.
What track bar brand is that? And what lift height is it good for?
how do you torque the jam nut?
Rusty’s – I think 3-5 inches or so.
Get a new 2 u bolt at the pick a part for next 2 nothing.
I enjoyed the pickle fork music.
I use the German goodentight method.
Drilling it out sounds like a good idea. I shall do it. Thanks!
I wouldn’t attempt to make your own bracket unless you are a professional
fabricator.
haha! thanks you for the video! 🙂
wow those KM2s look so good on your xj, make me want to get a set
I was replacing the track bar on my 96 cherokee sport today and noticed
that the axle side bracket has the hole a little wobbled out. what are your
suggestions to fix this? I do have a 3″ lift on the jeep and im using just
a oem replacement track bar single sheared with tie rod to frame. hope to
hear back from you.
How big of a deal is it if my axles are 1/4″ off? I have adjustables in the
front and rear, but I’m tired of having to keep adjusting lol I just can’t
seem to get the axles PERFECTLY center…
not a big deal at all, just leave it.
