Default Wallowed track bar bolt hole fix.




Drilled track bar mount and track bar sleeve to 7/16.
Used a hd washer and lock washer on the inside.
Left a 11/16 crows foot on the inside to act as the stock tab and tightened to 90ft lbs.
Steering is tighter than it has been in years and no wobble.
Apparently the factory track bar bolt and tab is one time use. I discovered mine was backing off after being torqued.

idea inspired by mrblaine on tjforum
