Alright, since I've lifted my jeep last year I've had problems with the trackbar. This may be a case where I'm making things more difficult than they have to be.
I'm lifted 3.5" in front and I keep blowing trackbars. I've been through 2 stock bars and now the RE trackbar I put on a month or two ago has done my frame side bracket in. I'm on 31s and the heep sees some highspeed gravel road runs, some minor trail crawling.
is it likely that some other form of adjustment has been neglected and that's what's causing the undue stress on the track bars (they always die at the TRE side, or in the latest case, the heim joint wallowed the frame bracket out).
OR is the fact that I run no swaybars the cause? I can't really see that anything else in the front end is reponsible for keeping the axle laterally centered (other than the control arms loosely). That seems like a lot of stress for a relatively small link to undergo all the time. I really like the feel of no swaybars, but $500 in swaybars in the last 6 months has me convinced to try other things.
I'd put my front sway bar back on to see if that helped, but I threw it away. (Yeah, I'm an idiot). Anyone else trashed a bunch of trackbars?
