- Опубликовано: 25 окт 2024
- Follow along as I repair the oblong hole for the track bar bolt. Reinforce the mount and drill out the bushing. This is a temporary fix until I lift the Jeep. Then I will probably rebuilt the mount with drop and a adjustable track bar. This is the 14th video in this series so be sure to follow along.

I am currently restoring an old railroad station that was originally built as the Daytona Beach East Coast station sometime in the late 1800's. It was torn down sometime in the 1960's and 50 feet worth of the lumber was used to build a cabin in the woods on a lake in Florida.

This guy knows what hes doing! Very helpful!!
The Moog K200863 is perfect for this, the new collar is actually slightly larger for a 1/2 bolt BUT! since the nut is welded on the Axle side you have to drill the nut through and use a nut on the other side of it. Good info for anyone who wants to save the cost a new trackbar and fix this issue for a while. Good video.
nice fix .got one with the shakes last guy sais changed every thing ,i bet mines wallowed out to thanks for sharing.tig stroung,
I took and changed from that lock bolt and nut to a regular nut and bolt and bolted it up and welded the nut to that plate so it couldn’t move in the hole no more
Thank you kind sir. Dealing with this myself on the lower mounting point. Have u fixed that?
Great videos i followed all on your wj build have one question i am at 8 inch of lift do you think i need a brop pitman arm and did you do one?
most shy away from drop pitman as it puts a lot of strain on the box and frame. Also messes with geometry of the panhard rod. The drag link and the panhard need to pivot and travel together to avoid bad bump steer. by moving the drag link down you change the pivots and geometry.
did you also put a plate on the back hole?
No I didn't. It was not wallowed out. But I think I will when I lift it. Maybe a side plate too.
I think this is what I have to do to my WJ. I just rebuild the entire steering on it and after about 100 miles she loosened up and gave me death wobble. I think its that trac bar mount causing it.
I just installed a REDTOP steering box last week. Made a big difference.
How much lift are you putting on it ?? I've got a 2002 WJ AWD that I'd like to put a 4" lift on but having issues with the front drive shaft.
I am going with 6" Clayton progressive rate from springs, 6" rear. I am going to be making my control arms and such. Then lots of cutting and re-configuring to fit 35's.
What thickness of steel did you use
1/8" and a thick washer on other side if I remember correctly.
not to b a dick but shouldnt the bolts be torqued while the suspension is loaded? nice work though man
No you are right. I got carried away filming. I couple weeks later I took it all apart, did ball joints, brakes and a few other things and held the axle up with some big stands to set it at ride height. This would be especially important with rubber bushing control arms as well. Good catch dude.
I'm having the same problem with my Jeep what size bolt did you use?
I can't remember of hand. I feel it was metric and I upsized to a slightly larger english bolt. I drilled out the inner sleeve in the bushing to match.
I later made a new custom track bar with a Johnny Joint
