my front axle sticks out 1 inch more on drivers side.. i had my friend drive my XJ and sure enuff my jeep is crabbing lol damn Mr Crabs

i do have 3 inch lift and also have a RE track bar...

it drives fine ( other than crabbing )

do i need an shop alignment or can i do it at home myself? can some1 educate me how to adjust the track bar? it looks like it just tied down to the end with no treads showing

thanks guys!

You got adjustabe control arms ?

MUKAK

no i have Pro Comp Boxed LCAs non adj

Gee oh Dee

Is the trac bar able to adjust at all?

If so you should probably be able to take the trac bar in half an inch to have it centered.

Unless its just too long for your lift and thats whats wrong...

Gee oh Dee

Wait...drivers side...trac bar should be longer than it is now...

Ok this should shed a little light on home alingment .....http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoAlignment.htm

Gee oh Dee

I think he needs his axle centered, not a full steering alignment.

Although the steering wheel will be off center.

i bought the XJ this way.. most of the parts look new.... the track bar adj nut looks like its tightened to to max... and the axle stick out on the passenger side about 1 inch more

MUKAK

just reread my original post.. i made a mistake.. i meant to say it sticks out on the pass side

Gee oh Dee

So is the wheel alignment off (wheels pointed in different directions) or does one tire sit further out on one side than the other?

Gee oh Dee

Ok, your trac bar is too long. You need one that adjusts shorter.

Look into the IRO double shear. Really nice product.

Track bar just un hook it then center cab over tires find a place to measure equal on both side unlock steering and turn wheel cab will move back and fort over axle .Get it centered then adjust trak bar to fit

when i got the jeep the steering wheel was wayyyyy off so i adjusted the drag link and now its straight.. did that move my axle?

Gee oh Dee

Shouldnt have if you just changed the position of the wheel if you did it at the adjuster sleeve by the pitman arm.

Gee oh Dee

That wont work if the trac bar is adjusted all the way.
