Yours may not be exactly the same, I'm not sure, but it may be similar...this is for a WJ.

TRACK BAR

DESCRIPTION

The bar is attached to a frame rail bracket and
axle bracket. The bar is forged and has non replaceable
isolator bushings at both ends.

OPERATION

The track bar is used to control front axle lateral
movement and provides cross car location of the axle
assembly.

REMOVAL

(1) Raise and support the vehicle.
(2) Remove the nut and bolt from the frame rail
bracket (Fig. 16).
(3) Remove the bolt from the axle shaft tube
bracket (Fig. 17). Remove the track bar.

INSTALLATION

(1) Install the track bar to the axle tube bracket.
Install the retaining bolt finger tight.
(2) Install track bar to the frame rail bracket.
Install the bolt and nut finger tight.
NOTE: It may be necessary to pry the axle assembly
over to install the track bar to the frame rail
bracket.
(3) Remove the supports and lower the vehicle.
(4) With the vehicle on the ground tighten the nut
at the frame rail bracket and to the bolt at the axle
bracket to 100 N·m (74 ft. lbs.).
(5) Check alignment specifications if a new track
bar was installed.

^^^ I don't think that's the same track bar setup. Go with what jeepride said.

Didn't think it would be...when I first posted I (for some reason) thought we were talking about an '03. Then once I posted I noticed he has a '93. Instead of deleting the post, I figured I'd leave it up and just add the note that my reply referred to a WJ...

In any case, good luck and always remember...when in doubt...Bigger hammer!!
