I'm working on an 01 and I'm putting track bar bushings in it the axle shifted I tried pulling it over while on jack stands I need it to shift about an inch or so I got it over a half an inch and I was nearly pulling it off the jack stands any suggestions?

If the axle shifted and you can't get the track bar to align with the bracket then u need to put the tires back on and put it on the ground on its own weight. Then you need to get someone to turn the steering wheel back and forth while you lay under and when the holes line up slide the bolt in and you're good.

Ok thank you

I've also been successful using ratchet straps to pull the body one way or the other.

Froggyman222

So would you attach the ratchets to a part of the body and move the axle with the body or tie it to something secure and try it?

93XJeeper

from the axle to the body.

Froggyman222

Alright thank you

93XJeeper

you may need multiple straps just so u know. Lol

Froggyman222

I have a bunch lol

Froggyman222

Any place you have had the best luck on the body?

93XJeeper

just find a hole in the uniframe to hook it into.

Froggyman222

Alright I'll have to find a sturdy one do you recommend on stands or on the ground?

93XJeeper

it you already have it on the ground then try the steering trick. But ether way will work for the straps. Your basically forcing the body to move left or right to line up with track bar.

That's what I figured I'm gonna try in the air first because I already have it like that
