I have a 95 Cherokee which I have broken the threaded part of my adjustable trac bar a few times. The previous time was because I failed to put thread locker on my jam nut. This time it seems to be the hole in the axle mount being egged out. Right before it broke I looked under while someone turned the steering wheel because of a clunk and saw the whole trac bar was shifting. I need to know if their is some kind of repair aside from welding the holes shut and redrilling. I have seen this problem on other Jeeps before but never saw the repair made. Any help would be appreciated.

I love my JKS track bar. It was a freakin home defense system before I bolted it under my jeep.

just fixed this issue yesterday on my 99 xj. get 2 5/16 washers from home depot .18 cents. and weld one on the front hole and the other on the back hole. the 5/16 washer is the perfect size for that bolt. all of my steering slop and death wobbles are gone. Thank God. It took about an hour including trip to home depot.

I did the same basic thing, but used a piece of 3/16 steel instead of washers.
