Hay thanks buddy that helps me so much. I subscribed so keep these yj videos rolling. I’m going to do mine next. You convinced me. God bless you my man
I can tell you from experience it's like driving a slinky I have a lunchbox locker in it every wide turn it makes it stretches and then the locker releases and snaps it back into shape not healthy for bushings rides like shit but THAT FLEX 👌
Oh I see, well my jeep had a lift kit on it and that bolt was a bracket extending out the arm, I could have just disconnected the arm from the bracket but the bracket was useless and so technically yes I did. But i dont believe the stock suspension will have this
Personally it helped me, however I would say if your springs are shot dont do it until you have good springs, they will flex more which is a pro except If they are thin and rusty I could see it having problems, I've seen some yjs with really thin leaf springs but mine are super stiff even now without the track bars, if yourd are in good condition then I'd say go for it
It’s a keep it for me!! it’s not needed if you have all new parts on the front end especially leaf spring bushings if you don’t or if you would like everything to stay smooth later down the road again keep it!!
As your suspension travels, straight up, or straight down, the track bar also moves, but again, the track bar must move in an arc, and cannot follow straight up, or straight down, thus causing the suspension to bind. This can even effect your suspensions ability to cycle normally. However if you’re suspension is shot this bar is holding it together so you’ll get a lot of body roll after removing. If you’re suspension is good you’ll hardly notice a difference except it won’t be as bumpy
@@_JEBUS How about some facts to back up that claim. It's there to exceed safety standards? LOL Thats ridiculous. Coils do the same thing then... Car companies are ALLLLL about spending extra money just for the sake of "exceeding safety standards". Anyway... what were they trying to exceed? enlighten us please. And please do not answer "safety standards"... Enquiring minds would love to know. Leaf springs center the axle... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@kylemccourt663 track bars are not needed for leaf springs. If you think they are then I'd say you need to do some research on how a suspension works. All they do is limit the vertical flex and the only reason to limit vertical flex is to meet factory safety standards. Track bar is needed for coils because coils dont center the axle. Unlike leaf springs a coiled axle shifts side to side.

Definatly should keep the front to help limit twist on steering components especially when lifted. Best to just to get an adjustable or telescoping bar. This guy is gonna bend him steering box mounts if he doesn't have it braced. Live n learn
I have a 1990 yj with zero track bar front or rear. Haven’t had any issues in over 2 years. I have 4” lift and 35’s Zero issues at 85 mph on the road, no issues turning and no issues with my steering box at all (no brace needed [yet]) no issues off roading unless you count my transfer case which has nothing to do with the track bars. Im getting ready to do some dodge 2500 14 bolt axles SOA along with stretching the front 5” and the rear 8-10” 22.5” super singles with 385/65/22.5 dirt tread.
@@brianfulwood7827 huh. Well, I live in a rural mountainous area. Rough, off camber roads while traveling at speed the bump steer has almost pushed me off the road. That was while I was in between track bars but everyone Experience is different depending on how you use it.
I have a 93 yj. 5 inch lift no soa. Just a reverse ubolt kit made by me to put it tight to the axle. But I also push on almost everything in the corners so.. .
I removed both of my track bars , i hit a speed break i was all over the damn road. I was blessed there wasn't any cars.trucks ect in next lane I would be dead and not making this comment . Leave T/B on for luck.
If your springs are sturdy enough then yes removing the track bars is a bad idea but you are better off just replacing your springs. Cj7s don’t have track bars to begin with

I wanna see more! You're a great vlogger!!
@1:31 even the dog be like , "dude...a crescent wrench, for real?"
If the shoe fits
Great vid. Thx!)
Nice jeep!
TREVOR IT HANNAH FROM YOUR OLD CHURCH
i miss u
I ONLY HAVE A TRACK BAR AT THE FRONT AXLE BUT NOT THE REAR I DON'T NEED IT
I can tell you from experience it's like driving a slinky I have a lunchbox locker in it every wide turn it makes it stretches and then the locker releases and snaps it back into shape not healthy for bushings rides like shit but THAT FLEX 👌
You should get some new sway bar bushings
Nice video. So did you have to take off that little bolt to remove rear track bar ? Thanks
I'm not sure which bolt you are referring too
Trevor Martin sorry. At 310 Back passenger side
Oh I see, well my jeep had a lift kit on it and that bolt was a bracket extending out the arm, I could have just disconnected the arm from the bracket but the bracket was useless and so technically yes I did. But i dont believe the stock suspension will have this
Did it help taking track bars off or not

Your sway bar bushings look shot…do you need one of those? A sway bar?
No I had to get that fixed but she’s good now!
Holy crap you toe out is crazy
What’s wrong with my toes?
It’s a keep it for me!! it’s not needed if you have all new parts on the front end especially leaf spring bushings if you don’t or if you would like everything to stay smooth later down the road again keep it!!
so do you thing your yj rides better? smoother, my 92 yj 4 inch lift i think rides way to rough,let me know if you think id rides better thanks
After the springs had more room to flex I'd say it definitely rides smoother although it will always be very stiff its not as stiff as it used to be.
Explain to me why you decided that you don 't need it, I don 't have a front one, but there is a back one

I think it’s a mistake to remove the track bar for anything but trail use
Leaf springs center the axle so a track bar is not needed. It's there to exceed safety standards.

I don't think he has ever worked on a YJ. The leaf springs absolutely center the axles.

show track bar on ans off
Crescent wrench? Seriously? Haha
I didn't like it either but it's the only thing I had, and I mean it worked so why not XD
It takes time to build up your tools. When I was a younger man I didn't have the tools either.
