Hey guess i have a problem that needs to be resolved so i come to you first, Why is my trac bar coming loose? i keep tightening it up.
Iv replaced front wheel bearings on both sides, iv had it in alignment ( i see no point in) its been thrown back out of alighnment after 2 months.
iv thought of these possible out comes:
I have a belt broke in one of my tires cause it does vibrate alot in the front end.
i do need new longer sway bar links but iv drove it the way it is for 6 months and nothing like this started to happen until now.

check your track bar bushings, if they're wallowed out, it will come loose on ya constantly.
others are confusing the track bar and sway bar.
if you remove the track bar, you can not steer.
and you should leave the sway bar in, just get quick disconnects to keep it legal.
