Default Eggshaped lower track bar bolt hole...

While fighting with the lower track bar I was happy when it finally came out. But through the struggle I seemed to damage the integrity of the hole. Should I worry about this? My first thought was to put a washer on, tighten up then weld the washer to the bracket. Any one have any thoughts? Thanks

I have the same prob right now. I called rubicon because that is where my track bar is from and they offer a bushing with a half inch bolt hole. All you have to do is drill out your stock hole and get the 1/2 in bolt and bushing and it should fix it. Or you could weld the washer on but it will be tuff to weld the washer on the inside of the bracket. Hope this helps
