Adjustable Track bar Question, Also DW question
 
I have a 99 xj 4 door lifted 4.5 inches on 35s. I destroyed the pinion bearing in the D30 a little while ago I finally got around to picking up another D30 from a fellow jeep guy I swapped it out over the weekend. I never had DW in this truck before and i drive it everyday 45mins each way to work. After installed the D30 i drove it about 25 miles with no issues at all. I went to leave for work got to around 50 mph and hit a decent bump that I usually hit everyday cant avoid it well anyway DW kicked in bad. I had to come to almost a full stop to get it to stop. Now I cant even get over 20 mph without DW setting in. I did not change any steering components just did a straight housing swap. It did have a bad hub bearing with a little movement I changed that with a new one and still getting DW The adjustable track bar does have a little movement in it at the Rod end. I am not sure what brand track bar it is but its adjustable do most of them use stock cherokee TRE's or no? Once I get that tight everything is the steering system is tight so I will try having it aligned but I dont see how the alignment could be off when I did not mess with that at all and the Ball joints are all tight as well. Any info would be great on the track bar thanks

I think it would be hard finding out what brand it is without any pictures

I would definitely get that track bar replaced regardless of what brand it is, its probably just old, and whatever you did when swapping it probably made it worse.

no reason to replace the entire track bar when the bushing is fine and the bar is fine it just needs a new rod end which is replaceable

Id just upgrade to a double sheer setup

Not unless the adjustable part is on the other end, mine is.
