Hi,
I replaced my track bar thinking that would solve the DW as I did a steering check and there was play on the frame end of the TB.
I re torqued all the TRE, etc after 100mi. I'm still having problems. I did find that driver wheel TRE was infact not tight.
sadly, I didn't know to inspect the axle bolt holes to see if they are wallowed out. So I plan on doing another steering check as soon as I can have someone clock the wheel for me. I do here a small clank when I rock the steering back and forth at a red light, hope to learn the source.
I live in an LA apartment with street parking, not the easiest situation to work the Jeep or else I'd already be wrenching.
I understand 2 options, weld washers onto the bracket or drill 9/16" holes and use a bigger bolt. Welding is not really an option, atm.
My question: Do I need to take the track bar to a shop with a press and have them press out the old bushing sleeve and install a larger one to accommodate the 9/16" bolt? (would that mean I'd have to find a bushing that can also fit the sleeve?) If so does anyone have part #'s? I am aware of Clayton's and Kevin's bolts, but specifically bushing and sleeve that fit moog oe tb replacement.
If I find that the holes aren't wallowed out, then what? I guess I have to do the steering check again first and see.
any insights appreciate.
