adjustable track bars

[wannabejeep]

What's the deal on setting these up right? I understand you want to center the axle under the jeep but what's the best way to measure/do this?

[WickedXJ]

best way to do it is to attach everything to the axle except the track bar and the sway bar then jack it up from the body or from the axle then jack stands under the body so that the axle is free fully lowered but not on the ground (taking tires off can help) and push on the axle a bit in either direction 90% to the body and let if find its "natural center" (where it wants to rest) this should be where you want your track bar now put it back on the ground making sure that the axle stays where it is. Put in track bar measured to fit this setup.

I've always done it with the steering wheel. measure from the fender to the outside of the tire. with everything on the ground u can literally cut the wheel, and the body will move over the axle. get it centered, adjust the track bar so the holes line up and pop that nuggah in.

sounds good, I have everything in place, I'm just waiting on a drill battery to charge.

Well I went out to my heated garage, where I sipped espresso and paid my mechanic to put this in.



By heated garage I mean my dirt driveway heated by the sun. By my mechanic I mean me. And by espresso I mean PCP.






Does my steering look OK? I'm not sure, but this track bar is fuckin beefy. I could club like 40 midgets with it.

Is it just the picture or does your drag link look bowed

Def frowning

[wannabejeep]

yeah I know that guy is on his way out. I was just wondering about the angles of the dangle and what not.

[ninetysix-ex-jay]

From my understanding the angle of the drag link should be the same angle as the trac bar. Its hard to say with yours since its bent though.


Not saying mine is perfect but you can see how the angles are similar

[wannabejeep]

I feel like the angles are different with won ton though. I know very little about it though. I see that my steering is bent but I can't remember how its supposed to look.

[Burton58]

i think yours are fine dan. the track bar mounts to the stock axle location correct? then it's parallel to your tie rod. don't worry about it... unless you get death wobble
