Default track bar relocation bracket

I have a track bar relocation bracket, how does it go on? it looks just like the part that is already on there, plus how is this going to solve the problem of my tire/wheel on the drivers side that sticks out about an inch? it looks like all the parts end up along the frame rail?? does anyone have insight on this

it goes on the axle pass side its the red thing on left side of pic .the yellow hole is where it bolts to where the factory bar did,the green hole is where the track bar is going to mount now, the red hole must be drill thru factory bracket and bolted together.

it moves the body of the xj over towards the pass side helping with the centering of the axle under body

U could have someone turn the steering wheel while u try to line it up and slide the bolt in. That's the easiest way

have you adjusted the toe yet,your going to need to loosen the adjuster at the drag link/ pitman arm with the wheels straight and turn the adjuster and the wheel will turn straight,make sure the steering is un locked
