What size wrench do you need for the track bar?

[IslanderOffRoad]

My trackbar has loosened itself as it seems to do every few months, and I'm getting some serious death wobble. Track bar is an RE.

I know the lower bolt is a 24mm, what size is the nut on the frame end? I can't get a socket wrench up in there. My crescent wrench is a bit too wide to be able to get around it as well.

which trackbar is it? if it has the heim, i would replace it with their heavy duty one. but the nut size for the heim one should be 15/16 IIRC. read the directions and make sure you torque it to spec, and use some loctite if you are worried about it coming loose again

just put a socket on it and see what size the thing is!
Then go get a wrench.

When I still ran that trackbar, I could never keep that nut tight, no matter what I did. Eventually I went to the hardware store and bought a second.. double nutted, it stayed tight for a very long time.

Given the poor design of the setup, I bought a second bolt and 2 more nuts while i was there. Good thing too, I managed to break it once.

Thanks for the tip! I may have to get a second nut.
