    How much does trackbar influence handling?

    I'll have to find a welder in my area. I simply can't weld worth $hit. Maybe once I get the bracket off and replaced, I'll find the culprit to all this slop :)

    How much does trackbar influence handling?

    And my welding skills suck. :-/. Hope it's not that.

    How much does trackbar influence handling?

    My trackbar is an RC. My lower control arms are one piece (non adjustable) that I got from Fat Bobs. I don't know the brand. It very well could be an elongated hole, the PO knew nothing about cars other than you turn the key to start it. Hopefully that's not the case, as I have no idea how I...

    How much does trackbar influence handling?

    I'll give it a shot this weekend. I'm just down to the TB and steering shaft. If those two things don't fix the issue, I'll be at a total loss.

    How much does trackbar influence handling?

    I just realized typing on my phone makes it look like I'm almost illiterate... Anyway, I've tightened the bolts down as much as I can. If I try to tighten them anymore, they'll break (I think). I certainly don't want to sheer a bolt head. My best guess is that the bracket is starting to pull...

    How much does trackbar influence handling?

    It doesn't really pop if I turn full right. If I turn full left, it's guaranteed to pop. My steering box has been replaced already (I did this bc of the loose steering, didn't help). When I pulled it, all was good, but I put a JCR brace on it when I do the swap.

    How much does trackbar influence handling?

    Essentially that's what the IRO trackbar will do. It replaces the tie rod in the TB with a bolt. I think this would help with the pop. Plus, it replaces the bracket, so if it is broken at the frame, that should correct that issue. It sounds like I need to get the TB done and then the Borgeson if...

    How much does trackbar influence handling?

    I've done that. It seems like the audible pop is from the bracket area. I was told that it was the coil bucket making noise, but I'm thinking it's the trackbar that's popping. I'm thinking at this point that I'm down to a new trackbar and shaft to see if that fixes my pop and pull. If it's not...

    How much does trackbar influence handling?

    So my issue with my xj pulling to the right as I drive has been well documented. I've replaced/ tried all the usual things, but nothing has worked. But, that's not exactly why I'm posting today. What I am posting about is the "loose" steering I have. I have a 3" lift with stock uppers and...

    anyone have a tube bender and welder?

    I think buying one would be easier, unless you have the materials laying around. The cost of metal is pretty high right now and like you said, that adds up. Then add in your time and learning curve to do one (if you havent before)....

    what happened to crazy horse offroad park?

    If I remember correctly, they had to shut it down due to lack of insurance bonding and also because of permits (eco wise). From what I heard, the people that owned the land said "hey, we'll make a park" and did so illegally. Not necessarily on purpose, but they jumped in before they knew about...

    HD Engineering Frame Stiffeners

    I guess I should add that I'm not going to ship them, so local pick up only. They are large and heavy. I certainly wouldn't even think of shipping them for $40.

    HD Engineering Frame Stiffeners

    I have a set of mid stiffeners that I've primed (weld through) that I'm not going to install. Not sure if this is the right place or not, but they're for sale. They go for $130 new. Make an offer :)

    I wanted to thank everyone for letting me come out and work on my jeep. It was great to meet everyone and especially thank mark for helping me swap in that 29 spline axle :)

    Spring Wrenchfest

    Mine was a pure accident. I sat it on the front bumper while I finished up working on the front, went for a test drive afterward, and forgot it was on there *face palm*. It was to late to get a replacement, the store was closed. Who knows where it went. I plan to stop by sears Sunday to get...

    I have the drinks and ice ready for tomorrow. Side note: I lost my 15mm 6 point socket today, so hopefully I won't need that tomorrow. If so, I'll have to bum one :-/

    I'm planning to bring drinks. Do I need to bring anything else munchie wise to the party??

    Spring Wrenchfest

    Im going to get the drinks tonight. Is anyone bringing ice or do I need to clean out the cooler and fill it up? Im going to get Coke, Dr. Pepper, and probably Sprite (or the store brands of those flavors...). Sound good to everyone?
