i did a search, didn't find anything specifically about this. a lot about trac bars, but not the mount hole.
my problem is the axle-end mount. the hole for the bolt has stretched out so i can see the bolt move back and fort about 1/2" when i'm laying under the jeep with someone turning the steering wheel. it's an 87 with about 3" of lift (old springs), OEM style trac bar replaced in january, from napa. 170k miles on jeep. my question is what's the best way to fix that hole? replace the whole mount, brace it with another piece of steel welded to it? weld up the hole and re drill? use something like quicksteel or jb weld to fill the hole and redrill? cheap is good, especially since i'll probably have to replace my trac bar, and i'm going to do it right this time and get a good adjustable, probably HD one. plan to eventually go to 32" or 33" tires, 4.5" lift max.
