Installing front track bar jeep tj

Often the effect is less felt in the front and no relocation is needed unless a taller lift is installed. Those kits usually use a track bar relocation bracket along with a drop pitman arm. This reduces or eliminates tire rub and returns alignment back to optimal. Support the Jeep properly and remove at least the driver side wheel.

Remove the lower mount bolt followed by removing the upper mount cotter pin. Loosen the upper mount nut but do not remove yet. Using a ball joint puller or fork break the joint apart. Once the joint is loose you can remove the nut and remove the factory bar. Adjust the new track bar to match the length of the factory bar for a good starting point.

Place the bar into place and install lower bolt and upper nut. Tighten to specs and install a new cotter pin. Leave the adjusting collar loose until final adjustments are made. The rear is rather simple. Remove the upper and lower track bar bolts to remove the factory bar. Adjust the new bar to match the length of the factory bar to start. We added a few extra turns to the end to add a little length to take a guess at a good fit. Install the fixed end at the top and the adjustable end at the axle.

Adjusting the front can be done by rotating the threaded collar. Perfect adjustment would need to be done at a shop with and alignment setup but one can often get it all but perfect at home. With the Jeep on the ground use a flat edge across the tire.
